Had to be in basingstoke by 8 this morning to get blood test done for white blood cells. I thought it would be quiet but no such luck. 45 mins later I was done and the waiting begins. I hate waiting it makes me so anxious got very stressed this morning. Went for coffee with Kerry and Helen to kill some time which was such good fun. Laughed so much and made quite a bit of noise with my load laugh. A gentlemen in the waiting room said it was better than 'Loose Women'!
Finally at 10.30 the results came through. Quick call to Em as she was waiting at Geneva Airport to see if she gets on the flight or not. So relieved that my count went up from .7 to 3.7 since Wednesday. Maybe it was the steak and Guinness! I couldn't bare waiting another week. Didn't go for the cold cap just couldn't face it. I had been in the hospital for 3 hours and to do another 3 hours just felt too much. I am going to be officially a slap head, the hair is coming out, anyway, so baldy it is. The experience today was so much better than the last, my nurse is just so much fun. Had Helen running to the pharmacy getting my drugs.
Feeling good but that might be because I am sitting still in bed doing nothing. Have different drugs for the sickness also injections to help the bone marrow produce more white blood cells.
All good and positive.
