Done with pre-op chemo and radiation

I apologize for not posting any updates but my “get up and go” got up and went.  I had my last pre-op chemo and radiation treatments two weeks ago.  Since then I have been very low energy.  I spend most of the day resting or napping.  So, I am finished with phase one of my cancer treatments.  Next week I meet with my surgeon to start on phase two.

Fifth and Sixth Weeks

The treatments really started taking their toll on the fifth week. I spent two Sundays in the ER with a fever and I was also admitted to the hospital for a couple of days. Turns out I was a little dehydrated. My doctor’s main concern was that I might be developing Neutropenia. Good news, my white blood cell count was fine and there where no infections. My hospital maybe considered number one in NYC but that does not apply to their food.
