November 3, 2013.. Are you skinny and need to gain some weight? Come with me, I have the answer for you to become a person larger than you are now. It is hard to believe but I gained 14 pounds since yesterday. That is, if the check-in scales were correct. I did weigh using different scales so that might have caused some difference in weight. In fact, the same thing happened when I was on the same chemo in April. I will lose it soon after I come off the chemo.

We made the trip to the hospital today. I got the chemo bag replaced with a full one. My white cell count had gone up. I don't remember that ever happening when I was on chemo before. Normally the white count goes down, and I know it will in the following days. I was just surprised to see it go up now. White count today was 3.06, platelets-155, hemoglobin-8.8.

All the nurses that attend to patients in the infusion unit are RNs. There must be 20 to 30 of them plus several APNs that are more on the level of a doctor. Some get attached to patients after seeing them so often. Here is one we have gotten attached to. She takes good care of me and says that her patients are like family. You can tell when you talk with her that she really likes her job. 

Here is a photo of her.
