Depression LingersEntry #642688
I have found myself to be a very "emotional" person. Probably it is because after the chemo was finished and I was moved to the cancer lodge, I became very restless and wanted my blood counts to recover so I could go home!

I had daily shots of Nupogen...a medicine to promote grow of my various cells, but became really unhappy when the counts lingered at dangerously low levels. I also needed more blood and platelet transfusions than usual ... often on days when Bill was coming to visit. That was discouraging because I often was then in lab from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and while Bill was able to sit and visit with me in the lab all that time, he always needed to leave for home by 4 p.m. so I got very frustrated.

I wish I could learn to have more patience, but I think it's still hard to realize I have so little say in my life during my times away from home. With it being the Christmas season that didn't help either!

Many thanks to all who are displaying a "Butterfly for Judy"
