My white blood cells were low this week so I didn't receive chemo. Instead the nurse instructed me on how to give myself shots of Neupogen ( a platelet booster). My immune defense system is low so I will stay away from crowds and people that may be sick. There is a lot of flu, colds, bronchitis, etc going around now so I will be staying close to home until I have a better defense system.
Things to do: read a good book, cook, practice my cello, play guitar, piano.... talk on the phone(give me a call), email, Facebook, work on grants for Art Center, take a nap......... I think I will keep busy.

I had a shot the day after each chemotherapy treatment to keep my white blood cell count up. I hope the shot also helps you.
