Neutropenic fever - Back at hospital

Here we go again ... the doctors told me to expect this, and they were not wrong. Just as I was starting to settle back into life back at home, my temperature spikes up again so I have to be admitted back to hospital. My Neutrophils count has dropped to 0.21 from 0.36 yesterday and I have to be on broad spectrum antibiotics again. I hope my counts improve quickly so I can be rid of this Neutrophils fever and start my next chemo as scheduled.

Yes, Hannah, my hair was very fine. They say that after it grows back it can sometimes change colour or texture. Some people end up with curly hair when it was straight before. I wonder what will happen to mine. Andrew, shaving your hair ... I don't think it will come out quite as easily as mine did!

I have come up with some names for my baby pillows - Hannah, Micaela, Emma, and Harriet since they are the lovely young girls who have written comments to me on this blog (Hannah, I thought I better check with you first about adding Shonagh to this list). I will reserve the names of the bigger pillows for my favourite nurses!
