My white blood cell and neutrophil counts were low on Monday, so I couldn&amp;#39;t start my 2nd cycle of treatment and because my immunity was low, it was best to avoid too many contacts. I settled down to watch daytime TV, always having thought I was missing something by being at work. Wrong!!! I did join this web site, having thought about it for some weeks, so that was something positive. Pottering about the house and moving things around (just to confuse my better half) occupied some time. Housework was a bit like TV, so I started a book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really hope I can start my next cycle of treatment on Monday!!!&lt;/p&gt;
