Today is a landmark day- I am done receiving the white blood cell boosting shots. It is also landmark for Wes because he had to give me the 24 shots over the last 4 treatments. The shots themselves were a total pain to get- not so much a physical hurt more like an annoyance. The worse part of the shots were the ache that they created in my body. My shoulders, chest and hips have been sore while I receive the shots. This is a good thing because it means that my bones are producing more white blood cells. But I am happy that the ache in my bones will not longer be felt!!
I am feeling optimistic about the next few weeks. The next treatment is a week away but the knowledge that I don't need half of the medication to deal with the side effects is awesome!
I have attached the picture of me with my new wig. I think that as I start feeling better I might head out with my wig. I will be able to be incognito- not visibly chemo girl. That might be a nice change.

that's awesome Michelle - I am happy to hear. And I must say, you look really nice!
The wig really looks like Michele before chemo... differnt colors, although a less sassy style
Although it is now weird to see her WITH hair....
Awsome!! We Love You!!!
I haven't had a computer for a week so I was scrolling down to catch up on things and as I was scrolling I thought, "just a picture of Michele" it wasn't until I was reading that I realized it was a wig. (yeah I'm slow) You look great!
So happy for you that you don;t have to have all of those shots anymore. It sounds like you will slowly be geting rid of some annoying side effects and we couldn't be happier.
