Second treatment.

Well I know I have been lazy last few posts. But update I was diagnosed with Hodgkins back on September 22 2004. Went for my first treatment on October the 1st and all went well. Just had one bad day which was Sunday. Well today went back for treatment number 2. Was all set in mind for this, well gave blood and waited around for 3 hours. They sat me in the chemo lounger and I waited for about 15 minutes. Nurse came up to me and started to explain my white blood count...half way through it I asked him I'm not getting treatment today am I...he said no. Another disappointment, as odd as it sounds I was really looking forward to getting this done. I felt great and all well I had no idea there was something wrong. Well prior to the treatment I had 78% white counts...this time they were less then 10%. and if that wasn't enough great news I was told there's a drug out there to stimulate my white cells to get them producing faster, thought cool not a problem I'll just take another pill...NOT the only form of intake is by injection...yeah right just the thought of trying to poke myself with a needle makes me nervous. I head to the hospital tomorrow for a teaching on how to poke myself. they also sent me home with a video to watch....injecting yourself 101.
