Well I went for my last external radiation treatment today and rang the bell after!!!! Whoo Hoo….You have to ring it 3 times and I rang it loud…we actually had gone out to get the car from the valet people because I had to go have a EKG upstairs at the hospital….Larry said do you want to go ring the bell?  I said yes so we ran down there and rang it….there were only 3 other people there…but who cares…I did my time….I am ringing the bell….

This weekend was really rough….I am feeling all of these things all at one time….tired, fatigued, anxious and emotional….I actually cried this morning at the thought of taking a shower…because I didn’t know if I could physically do it….this is where the fun hormonal stuff comes in I think because I don’t normally cry over showers.  But that is how tired that I feel….I have just broken down several times because I just don’t know what else to do…sometimes crying just makes you feel better….Meanwhile I am wondering why I feel so incredibly bad…

So they didn’t do my bloodwork on Friday because we had already determined that I was NOT having Chemo today!!! They were going to do it today because Dr. Cardenes always wants to examine you on you last day so they also tested my blood levels and had me have an EKG ….So they call at 5 tonight to tell me that my White Blood counts are at 1.2 and should be at least a 4. something…..and that also my Magnesium levels are extremely low….They called in a prescription for a Magnesium supplement.  So no wonder I have been feeling so horrible….They want me to come in on Wednesday again to have my levels checked.  Meanwhile now I am at risk for getting sick and have a really high risk for getting infections, etc….so they said to keep me in a bubble….I have pretty much been in a bubble…but I guess a highly degermafied bubble…..Lysol is my new best friend….

So now I am the girl in the bubble….meanwhile H1n1 is running rampant and it’s flu season….come on White Blood Cells lets produce….I am going to look online to see how I can help these guys out….because I really need them….

So at least I know why I haven’t felt good…besides chemo/radiation & Cancer :)  Haha…
