November 8, 2013.. We were at the hospital about 5 hours today. Both trips took longer than usual. The 4pm injection sometimes only takes a few minutes, but today we were there for 1.5 hours. The nurse was just too busy to get to me. I had a problem with low blood pressure this morning and had to wait until I could receive one liter of saline by iv. The chemo is causing my blood pressure to be low. The APN keeps a close eye on things, and if all remains the same, I am scheduled to receive a unit of blood tomorrow in order to keep my hemoglobin higher than what it is now. 

I continue to not sleep well at night so I must catch up between trips to the hospital. Overall, I have felt ok today. 

My white cell count today was 1.43, hemoglobin-8.8, platelets-106

FYI... A round trip to the hospital each time is 13.2 miles.
