Notes From Supergirl

My Diary from the Trenches

Day 22

June22

I am writing early tonight because I am filled with good news. Most importantly, my white blood cell count has come up to 3,200 and my neutrophils are at 51% – what that means is that if I didn’t have fevers and a stomach issue I could actually come home tomorrow! The other good news is that the CT scan they ran last night showed that my stomach infection is healing. Once I can go a few days without fevers and iron out these stomach issues, I can come home! Soon, soon, soon.

I’m too excited to talk about anything else tonight, I just wanted to share the news!

    Way to Jess! Glad you’re feeling better. You’re winning the battle. As each day goes by you pop into my brain and I send only positive energy your way. It will be so good for you to get out of that hospital. Working tomorrow. Will pop in if i get a chance and you are feeling up to it. Any requests? I could pick up anything you want. Not working until 11am. Rest and smile with the thought of sleeping in your own bed!

I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at the end of May. On June 1, 2010 I began chemo. This is my blog, my digital diary of my experience with cancer at 34. More importantly, it is a record of the power of the mind and the power of love and friendship and – it will show – that with these things you can overcome anything.
