For the most part everything is looking pretty good. My white blood cell results are artificially high because I got a shot called Neulesta, which essentially boosts one's immune system. The shot itself costs $4,000. Yes, the decimal is in the right place. Four thousand dollars. Luckily, $3,940 of it is covered by insurance. Can you believe that I need 6 of these? I am so grateful that my family has health coverage. I am finally getting over my cold, which long overstayed its welcome, as snot trickles its way down from my sinuses to my stomach. I am going in for my third round of chemo this Thursday. I have to stay at the hospital overnight, and frankly, I'm not excited. I'm not prepared for another round of mouth sores, achy bones and nausea, but ready or not, here it comes!
