I am a bit late on this posting. I fear I jinxed myself as the chemo finally caught up with my awesomely fast red blood cells. And because of this, made me feel yucky. When your body is not making enough red blood cells then it doesn't get the oxygen to all parts of the body that it needs. (red blood cells carry oxygen) and then you feel CRAPPY! I really don't want to experience a low blood cell count many more times, although I know it will probably happen again and I will have to deal with it. Sometimes if it gets too low, you have to have a blood transfusion so that you can get those blood cells flowing normally. I feel bad for my mom as she is anemic and I now know how she feels sometimes when she is in need of her B12 shot since her blood count is low at times. It really sucks feeling that way. Hard to breathe, bad headache, achey body, fatigue. And my cognitive skills were so bad I thought I had suffered brain damage!!!! But I am feeling much better today. So hopefully everything is getting better, till the next chemo!!
