My Doc

I had to go in to get my blood drawn for my mid-cycle testing yesterday. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to get the white blood cell booster injection this time around... no dice! Chemo just seems to wipe those out of me, and yet again... I got shot up! My doctor was hesitant to break the news - since the side effects bite!

I was so happy though - my doctor told me that he was amazed at how my body was handling chemo. That my treatment regimine is pretty rough, and that he was impressed. Just what I love to hear! I try so hard to be tough and not to complain (too much anyways). My oncologist is great! I think all of us "cancer patients" have a little crush on the guy. We're pretty lucky to have Dr. Ben Jacobs in Logan (he's the only Medical Oncologist in town) :) He thinks I'm reckless and I tend to try to negotiate or skirt around issues that he discusses with me, but its all in good fun. So, for having to deal with cancer... we're all pretty lucky to have him as our "doc".
