Journal entry by Elisa Alexander —
Even better news!
I'm going home today!
With a white blood count of 1.76 and an absolute neutrophil count of 880, I'm heading home at around noon. I'm feeling great, and so excited to finally get out of this hospital pod.
At this point my nausea has gotten much better and the other symptoms are under control. I'm almost completely bald, as well--it's amazing how long it took for the chemo to make my hair fall out! I didn't expect such a delayed reaction.
Anyway, celebrate with me on this wonderful day!
