Allison has had a quiet week, continuing to recover from her first dose of chemotherapy. She had her blood tested again this week and "all the numbers" came back above average, which is good. She said they tested for a bunch of things, but one of the things tested for was her white blood count. She got another shot this week to help keep her white blood count up. Chemo tends to wipe out white blood cells as it attacks the cancer.
Allison says that some days are good and others she is really tired. Thursday was one of those "really tired" days, she says, but today is better. It just comes and goes. It may be this way through the entire course of treatment.
She is grateful for all the friends who have taken the kids for play dates and other adventures. Keeping them entertained has been a great help. And, she is also grateful for all the wonderful meals that have been brought in.
