My total white blood count today was 3.8 and my neutrophils were at 7.0! So, today began round 3 of chemotherapy. I am physically wiped out. Please pray for minimal side effects, especially the following: nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, peripheral neurophathy, and muscle cramps in my hands and legs. The cramps are due to the chemo's effect on my electrolytes. It is not painful, but it is weird. I have a hard time controlling my fingers. So, if there are typos in this post, you'll know why!
I appreciate you all praying. If I don't post anything the next couple of days just know that I am sleeping and recovering. I am so thankful for your love and support every day!
The prayers for the above are a done deal, but I wanted to make sure I let you know that not only did you look awesome on Sunday, but your hair looked as beautiful as any other time I have ever seen you! :)
