Amy's Cancer Story

Today I had enough energy and showed a house to a sweet old lady and her daughter.  When I had gotten to the showing, some flurries were coming down.  Then I headed down to Fox Chapel for blood work.  Snow still not sticking.  I am happy to report that my platelets and white cell blood count were high (which is good).  They were higher then before I started chemo.  The neulasta shot that I received the day after chemo is doing its job.  The shot promotes new cell growth to keep your immune system in check.  I do have a really sore throat and was up to 2 am last night because of it.  I hope it does not last too much longer.  Drinking lots of fluids . . .

The snow here in the Pittsburgh area is crazy.  We have not seen so much in a while – the most ever this year.  Much more is coming down than they predicted.  I am headed to bed now . . . It will be fun to wake up in the morning to a winter wonderland.  Get your cameras ready if you have some too.    Good night.
