Nutropenia

I had a terrible experience myself today, I totally freaked out, and ended up crying all the way home.  That was over something I normally would have handled in a totally different manner.  Your situation was huge compared to mine, but I had the same questions running through my mind "Who am I?"  I can totally sympathise with you, and I understand.  Here I am having a month off inbetween Chemo and Radiation, and I am a different person to what I was.  I spoke to my Dad today, and he said "Your Mum was like that too when she went through Menopause!" (which is very relevant because she is now 75 and had Cancer at 55 yo and would have had instant menopause with chemo too)  Instant Menopause....he then informed me, you will be ok, you will return to "you".  

I was the Immune Queen, and I know that every-one thought I went "above and beyond the call of duty" with carefullness.  Each to their own on how you want to do it.  I did stay away from the General Public during my Chemo - each time, for 2 weeks and ventured out on the 3rd week.  I did get sick once, and it was when a repair man came to the house and fixed our kitchen tap.  He was coughing, but I didnt think anything of it.....until...  I caught tonsilitis/sinus/ear infection that was triple anything Id had when I was "normal".  However, my Dr had provided me with a script on standby, and I rang him and said "So do I take them now?"  and he said "Yes".

I did whatever I was advised to do via the information provided by the Kit and as I hadnt had any idea about Chemotherapy before that, I assumed that following what they said was the smart way to go about it.  I soon discovered not everyone was as careful, but thats ok too.  I also ate totally natural, and didnt eat out, and was really ultra clean in food prep, toilet area.

I had Neulasta too,   I still have arvo sleeps to help my immune system. X Bel
