I have not tried it yet, we'll see how that works in the future. And thank you for the offer, I will keep it in mind that you are near to me, and I will call on you if/when I need you.
It sounds like it sucks. I'm glad you're really sharing and venting what is happening with you... I think it is really important that you take the time to do this-- deal with the ick, too.
I am so proud of you. You are one of the bravest people that I know, and always have been. The transformation from the beginning of your entry to the end brought tears to my eyes.
This is why so many people love you, Meagan, my girl.
just a random thought. can they teach you how to do the white blood cell injections? or how about an at-home nurse service to come by and administer it?
i have no first hand experience with chemo or its side effects. i know that when my grandmother had cancer and was receiving chemo, she absolutely loved popsicles. the fruit kind. it was something she could actually taste and enjoy.
if you need anything, if i can do anything, please let me know. even if it's just to give MJ a hard time or whatnot. i'm good at that... ;)
The shot itself is a 30 second procedure, so the visits are just inconvenient, but very short. It's the after-effects that kicked my ass, and it took about 8-12 hours for the effects to come on. Mary told me about the popsicles, and I'm definitely going to try it, many kinds. And yes, please torture Mary, it will bring me great joy to see her suffering. >:)
have been busily tormenting my sister for you. she isn't happy about it, but i am!! =)
re: the white blood cell shot/shot series. i don't know if mj told you that i've been dealing with some sort of autoimmune disorder over the past few years. it's been frustrating, painful, and depressing. i found that any inconveniences i could eliminate -even the really small ones- made my life so much better. i've learned to take full advantage of the benefits my insurance offers. hopefully i'm not speaking out of turn. i just learned that, for me if the insurance covered something that made my life even a smidge easier, it was in my best interests to use whatever benefit it was.
