Well all done with second dose of chemo and still 2 more to go. This last week was a little harder was so tired by Friday could not go to work. Still having a hard time with the smoking thing. Sometimes it is just hard dealing with Jacob, and my dad and working gets a little hard.I have to go to the doctors today so should find out more then. My last blood work they told me my white blood count was low and they seem worried about that, I thought getting it low was what I was trying to do. So when I see the doctor today going to find out.

Well this is my second week of chemo and I have one day left this week, going to work after chemo this week, so it was a very long day today. Today was the first day I really felt sick and I am so tired tonight. Sometimes I think that maybe feeling sick means that I might lose my hair. well I have to go to bed really tired.

What Is Leukemia?

Leukemia is cancer that begins in blood cells. Cancer is a group of many related diseases. All cancers begin in cells, which make up blood and other tissues. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place.

Sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should.
