Still in the hospital today and hopefully discharge tomorrow (Sunday).
Feeling fine other than a little bit of infection in the arm; hopefully that will go soon. The white blood cell count, which was close to 0 on Thursday, is improving as the body recovers from the first chemo week. Apparently this is the normal course of events.
The doctor still recommends going ahead with the second chemo treatment a week from now. However, the dose will be lightened - apparently the first treatment is always a bit of a guess and one can reduce the dose without impacting the effectiveness. We hope it will be easier the second time around.
