Chemo in progress

3rd FEC falls on my birthday

I will be 28 years old on the 24th of June. I have taking 3rd FEC on the same day. I wish otherwise. I wish things had been different. I dont want to spend my birthday feeling sick and cant even have a makeup birthday until 5-7days afterwards.

I just hope and pray that 2011 will be a better year and beginning of a great life for me.

I just scared my partner and a&e

I had 2nd chemo on the 4th of June and I have been fine. I have been indoors and decided to go to church today because I feel so strong. My daughter was given lunch in the kid's church and I fed her and also ate from it. We got back home and I laid on the couch watching movie and I started feeling dizzy. I tried to calm down but it was as if i was suddenly drained out. I called my partner but before he came to my side, I had collapsed. That didnt last long but I started vomitting and stooling and we called hospital and I was asked to come in asap.

We managed there with no strength in me. After taking my blood, I was left to sleep and by the time the results came back it turned out fine. Infact, my wbc is 9.6. I am back at home and just thank God. My daughter is fine and didnt react to the meal. I was so scared and I want to live. I want to fight and beat cancer.

God help us all.

2nd Chemo

I was not able to take my 2nd chemo on the 28th May because my white blood cell count was really low - 0.6 and it has been postponed till 4th June.

I am sad but what can I do??? I hope my wbc would have increased by then. Oncologist said I will be taking injections to help my wbc.

Meanwhile, my lumps has reduced but it keeps itching me from inside. My hair has gone and my scalp aches me. Is that normal?
