Phil's Philosophical Phenomena

Sherry got her Neulasta shot today, to head off the problem of low white blood cells. On the first chemotherapy cycle, she got this shot after her white blood cell count hit bottom, but this time we hope to keep that from happening by getting the shot before the chemotherapy depletes them.
She was already feeling "achey", with flu-like feeling in her bones. This injection will add another pair of aches in her hips when it shifts her bone marrow into overdrive.
Still, she was doing dishes when I called. She's also teaching Kyle, so it hasn't put her in bed.
