Cancer sucks

Today, for the first time, I feel like a cancer patient. Sorry to be a downer. ...
I went to my oncologist today. My white cell count is low. That was to be expected, I'm told. Nothing I could have done, diet or otherwise, to prevent it. It's the chemo. It kills cancer cells, but it also kills healthy cells. I'm at-risk for infection, so I've been given antibiotics. I'm told to contact the cancer center day or night if my body temperature reaches 100.5 or higher. I should avoid crowds. If I go to the grocery store or to a restaurant, I'm to go at off-peak hours.
I'm scheduled to start chemo again on Wednesday. They'll do a blood test beforehand. If my numbers aren't better, they might lower the dosage of chemo. They can give me shots after this next chemo cycle to help strengthen me, but that may mean stopping radiation treatments for a few days. The shots and the radiation don't mix, I'm told. ...
Oh, and I shaved my head today. Yep, I feel like a cancer patient.
