Sheri had her second round of chemo yesterday (Monday.) Her white-blood cell count was up (thanks for everyone's prayers), and the treatment went well. Yeah -- two down -- 10 to go!!
Today she went to get a Neulasta shot http://www.neulasta.com/, which helps to boost white blood cells (the little suckers that fight for what's right! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell), so that she will, HOPEFULLY, not have to miss a scheduled chemo treatment again!
If you click on the Neulasta link and then go to "Important Product Safety Information" you can read about the side-effects. One of the side-effects is bone pain, and tonight Sheri is dealing with that. No fun!! But, on the positive side, the shot is supposed to reduce the chances that she will get those darn mouth sores again. She said that she'll take the bone pain over the mouth sores at this point. If she wakes up in the morning with bone pain AND mouth sores -- believe me, she will NOT be very happy!! So, lets all hope that the shot does its trick.
If you are reading this, and haven't read the posting with the link to Sheri's wedding pics make sure you scroll down and check it out. GREAT PICS!!!

No fun, mouth sores... don't they know you are in "honeymoon" status? You have some serious kissing to do, so those doctors had better cure you quick!
blessings to you,
