Well no wonder!

I've been feeling really lousy for the past several days and I found out the reason yesterday. It was not really surprising, it was side effects to the xeloda, one of my chemo drugs. My blood counts (like platelets, white cells, etc) were off whack, in fact my platelet had dropped from 149 to 72 (142 is low normal). my doctor took me off the xeloda (hooray!) and gave me a new drug for the nausea and I am feeling MUCH better this morning. one day at a time, that is my motto
