Sunday 18th December.
Today has been a day of passing time until tomorrow, much like yesterday. I will have the blood test tomorrow morning and then have to wait until possibly the evening to find out the result. It all seems so cruel the waiting. It's exhausting. But what will be will be and there's nothing I can do about my white cell count.
