hi everyone , just been released from hospital my white cells were none exisitant & i am neutropeinic think that is spelt right basically open to any infection going so i have spent the last few days on iv antibiotics confined to a side ward thank god for hospitals & the fantastic staff i have been well looked after & i am now feeling much better . i have got to have injections now before each chemo to stop my white cell count from dropping so low again.i havnt felt well since i had this one on the 12th august & just got worse last thusday i went to oncology & they tested my blood & gave me some antibiotics then sent me home saying if i got any worse to get back in touch which i did on saturday i felt so weak it was unbeliveable i was admited straight away though i did have to wait for a bed at the time it was stressfull but looking back its understandable with the bed shortage etc.since then i have recieved top class care from friendly attentive angels from the domestic staff to the drs so i cannot complain. my oncologist wasnt happy i was sent home on thurs day but in the drs defence this did happen on my last chemo & after oral antibiotics i was fine . it was the same dr who treated me then so he wasnt to know that my count would fall futher so i dont blame anyone i am just glad to be back home with my family . i have never heard of neutrepeinic before so its a new one on me. i hope eveyone else is well i have really missed not being on line will write some more soon love n hugs treeze xxxx

You've had quite a time of it, and it must have been quite scary not knowing why you felt so weak. I'm so happy happy that you received good treatment once you got a bed. Also now they will be looking after you with special attention. Hope you're not feeling too physically poorly now and are getting back a bit of your old bounce. Lots of love xxx Penny
