First Jason, now it's Joshua who's sick. I think it's the flu. No ear aches or sore throat, only body ache and high fever. Like what Mark said, our house has been sick free since I was diagnosed. But now our kids got sick two in a row. Hopefully I will not get it. It is bad timing because my chemo is on Monday. If I do get it, my chemo treatment will be postponed. I do not want that to happen.
To be on the safe side, I'm taking extra precautions, washing my hands like a maniac and asking everyone in our household to do the same. I had a flu shot prior to my surgery. My doctors recommended it because my immune system now is very low. I'm glad I did. I'm just hoping it works because I heard the virus this year is nastier than before.
So aside from the stress of losing my hair, there's the additional stress of the risk of getting sick and the second round of treatment. Tomorrow I'm having some bloodwork. We will also see Dr. K for follow-up check-up, I think he'll also review if I'm responding well (or not) to the treatment. I hope he'll give me his thumbs up to proceed with the second round of chemo. Keep your fingers crossed.
