the rest of June...

Back in the hospital on 6/23. Round 2. I know I said I was clear. My leukemia is in remission. There are 2 phases to the chemo. The first (3 weeks in the hospital with chemo 24/7) is call the induction. Then you have 3 more rounds to make sure none of those little bad cells are hiding and those 3 rounds are called consolidation. Dayum I've learned a lot = ) This time I get 2 bags of chemo a day for 4 days. On the 24th I get the surprise of another bone marrow biopsy! My favorite! My third one. great. I can't remember why, don't want to.Went home on the 27th. Sick as a dog on the 28th, 29th, 30th, 7/1.No wonder! I need more transfusions! Yeah! Do that on the 2nd. Was at the hospital 6 1/2 hours.But! There's more! I get readmitted on the 3rd! So sick. When your White Blood Count is low, you're prone to infection becuz the white is what fights it off. Apparently, I got infected with some random germ. Lots of antibiotics. Who knew?
