was a bad week for her

no chemo last week, her white blood cells were under 1000 - doctors said they couldn't understand how they got that low after only one chemo treatment

now they are trying to build them up with a drug - can't recall the name, but it will make her joints hurt like arthritis - all chemo is on hold till her white cell count is acceptable

and they told her they are not considering bone cancer as the cause yet, but have not ruled it out

why would you say that to a patient who is struggling to get even her second breast cancer chemo treatment?

needless to say you were right on about the gardening - with a white count that low she is very susceptible to infections - I did share it with her again - she has been very quiet with this all happening last week
