I think this is a picture of a white blood cell. My white blood cell count went way up, which is a good thing. I was all set to go to chemo Wednesday when they told me my white blood cell count was very low and as such I should not do chemo this week. Instead they gave me two shots, one Wednesday and one Thursday. The shots cost $4000 each! They had to wait a long time before giving me my first one, to make sure the insurance company would cover it. This morning I had lab work done and they were really surprised at how high my count had gone, so I guess the miraculously high priced drug works. $4000 a shot, wow!So now I'm back on schedule to go to chemo next Wednesday, assuming nothing else happens.
One other thing - I'm losing my hair!!!! I've always had a lot of hair but now it's falling out in chunks. I'll be the first bald Rohlich ever! Has there ever been another - I can't think of one. I'll get over it...
I cant think of any other bald Rohlichs. But it's good to be first at something. That is kind of hard to do in our family - being first. Remember how you would do something bad but you wouldnt get in trouble because one of the older kids had done something just as bad or worse before?
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about the count and that the medicine is working. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI guess others aren't paying as much attention as I am, but in fact I've got a sizeable bare spot on the back of my head and a 'high forehead', all of which I have long attributed to too much activity within the cranium. And weren't there a few Roherty's who were bald... Uncle Lou, wasn't it?
But don't worry, being bald won't cramp your style, as it is.
And Jack will be happy to have the company.
ReplyDeleteYou're worth every thousand dollars! Watch Criminal Minds? That bald guy is really sexy! And we won't mention the game!
ReplyDeletewoohoo! so glad the white cell count went up. i hope you continue to feel well and kick cancer's butt!
