Sorry Tommy

• Bloodwork and treatment at Siteman West County

On cold and rainy Fall days like today, all I really want to do is stay in bed and hide under the covers. (But doesn't everybody?)

Instead, I was off to Siteman first thing this morning. My neutrophils were super low today, the lowest they have been since May when we reduced my Xeloda from 3,000 to 2,500/day. Dr. T's office approved treatment anyway but I got the usual spiel about being careful... avoid snotty children, wash my hands and call at the first sign of an infection. So don't be offended if I don't want to hold little Tommy this week. And I think I'll let Hector hand out the candy on Saturday night.

Only 6 more hours of work until I can crawl under those covers.
