The update from the consultant yesterday was that my Neutrophils had not moved from zero over the weekend. I looked back over the previous cycles to see when they moved before, in cycle 1 it was day 27 and in cycle 2 it was day 22. So I guess I’m really just entering the time frame when they should start to improve.
I felt very tired yesterday so had a couple of sleeps, my temperature went up to 37.8. When it gets to 38 they start taking lots of blood samples and checking me more frequently. So to ensure an interruption free nigh I sat in front of the fan for four hours and now my temperature is back down to 36.8. I’m feeling better today.
Isabel brought me in dinner last night which was great, it is so nice to get home cooked food again. Lunchtime in here is not too bad but the evening is either baked potato or a sausage roll - neither of which strike be as being nutritionally that good for me if repeated for a month. Karen came in just after we had finished dinner and brought a very nice cake with her, so it felt like my birthday has lasted a couple of days.
… only 5 k yesterday, I was feeling very tired …
