And here I sit, waiting for chemo. But!!!! This is round 10 of 12. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, so I consider that a great birthday gift. :lol:

2 more to go. I got this.

Happy Birthday. I start Chemo on 6th 5 rounds to make a total of 12, folfiri. Definitely not looking forward to it, but expecting it to once and for all kill any micro cells.

Thanks yall!!

So, they sent me home due to low ANC. :roll: it's the first time I haven't had the right numbers for my bloodwork. But, that's okay. Trying again on Friday.

I was able to come home, enjoy my family and have a scrumptious birthday cake. Plus I got a roomba that mops! I adore my robots. This is the second one I have, the first being the original vacuum.

The things that make me happy. :lol:

Sorry to hear Amy; neutrophils are a bugger. I managed to get through with mine dancing around 1.0-1.5, then I had a drug reaction that knocked them down to 0.2 so that put a dampener on things! Since then I’ve been also having Neulasta which makes a massive difference - back up to 4.6! Do you know if that’s something they’d be offering you?

I’d been toying with getting the Rooma that mops (Scuba?), but my house is a mix of carpet and hard floors so I’d be moving it around a lot... still I also love my robots so may have to give it a go after your experience :D

I get my on body injector every cycle, my bone marrow is just lazy. Get to work damnit, you have one job!!

As for the mopping robot, it's amazing. My kitchen floor is so clean. We have 5 really big inside dogs, so this is a game changer. We also have zero carpet, so your mileage may vary!

I think my husband's chemo has been postponed 3 times (out of 15 Folfiri infusions so far) due to neutropenia. Once he had to wait an extra 2 weeks because of schedule conflicts. Every time his numbers went back up, and the extra wait didn't have any impact on his CEA levels. So I'd say enjoy the break!!
