Chris had chemo today. But, you already knew that. He feels good. Good enough to be bugging the crap out of me right now, I'm not complaining. That'll change toward the end of the week though. The way he feels, not the complaining!
As expected his ANC is low. Like 600 low. Normal is 1,500. It's the chemo. It's killling! getting rid of all of his good WBC's! This just means he can't fight infection as well. No good, especially this time of year when so much crap is going around. Anyway. I've quarantined him in our 800 sq ft apartment. He already has a sore throat. Probably from me because I've been fighting something for the last two weeks. Dr. J* told us about some meds that he can take though if he starts feeling really crappy. She said for now to fear a fever.
How about instead of fearing a fever we just avoid it? Yeahokthanks.
Other than that Dr. J said the usual. "Oh he's doing good." Blah blah blah. Not sure why we are paying (thank you non-existant insurance!) for a weekly doctor visit when we see them maybe two minutes and they ask the same questions as the techs.
There is my rant.
*Dr. J is Dr.K's associate? I don't really know. We see her as much as we see him.
