It has been 13 days since I got the first round of the new chemo scheme, and I am not feeling great. According to the doctor, I was supposed to feel like crap the first ten days after the chemo, and then slide into the paradise of an almost normal existence. Well, it has not been like that...
I do feel better than the first week, when I could not even get myself out of bed. But I still feel like crap. The reason, I now have learned, is that my white blood cells have dropped to less than a third of the acceptable minimum level. The doctor confirmed that, after looking at my blood tests.
And, with the stroke of a pen, he turned me into a luxury item, by giving me a shot to stimulate my bone marrow at the cost of almost 3K.
WTF!!!!
I will probably need one of these "cheap gigs" before every chemo session that is left on the calendar!
Warren says that I am pushing the concept of high maintenance to a whole new level...
