No, really. First, my port didn't work, and so it had to get an enzyme put into it. Which meant that they had to do my bloodwork from my arm, which is not usually a big deal, but for some reason, it really hurt.
Then, my counts came back so low that they had to give me a booster shot.
Then, I woke up the next day (yesterday) with a fever of 102, which is very bad, so I had to go BACK to Swedish and get more blood work, under the threat of a small possibility I would have to be admitted to the HOSPITAL overnight. Yikes.
The good news is that the second batch of blood work showed that my white cell count was out of the danger range. The bad news is that I still had a fever all day yesterday, which really sucked.
Today I am resting and recuperating, and hopefully the glorious Week Three will still show itself to me....

I think those few nasty C cells remaining are revolting because you are kicking butt and taking names. Hang in there - you're doing great. Know that you are truly an inspiration to all of us. Love you big.
Even if you feel you got an F, just remember about the curve. You're ahead of it and we all know you'll get an A.
Thinking of you often. Take care.
F, stands for a lot of good things; faith, friendship, fantastic, fabulous, f---, freedom....
and the great thing about flunking is that it provides room for improvement.
still, it F-ing sucks to feel so lousy, thank you for being so strong.
I see the "F" as you giving those little jerky cancer cells the finger. And you know which finger I'm talking about.
Seems like its working. You have strong fingers woman.

You are strong and beautiful and kickin' some serious C cell booty. I'm sorry you're feeling lousy right now, but know that you are going to come out of this even stronger.
We think of you often and send lots of love every day
I agree with ChefKaren, F does stand for a lot of good things too! I am sorry you have a fever, that is a good excuse to eat ice cream though. Miss you Melissa!! And thinking of you all the time!
eff shmeff. i give the big C the F.
hang in there, you'll come back around.

We are all sending you lots of love and healing power to get you through the hard weeks. Sorry week 3 wasn't what you had hoped for, but here is to week 4 being a breeze! love you!
Since it's 3 days since your post, I'm hoping that you're feeling a little better and the fever is a goner.
I'm with Pam - those C cells weren't going to go down without a fight. But they don't stand a chance.
Sending you all the + energy I've got.
Love,
A
