Six months of chemotherapy

Chemotherapy you have every other week. You take chemotherapy for six months. So that's twelve treatments. I usually get them on Friday so I can rest Saturday, Sunday, and go back to work on Monday. So first week, Friday get shot and they give me a break, and then third week go back to the clinic and get a second shot and then every month like that. Now sometimes when my white blood cells go down too low, they turn me down. They say, Lily, come back next week. You have to have strong enough white blood cells to take that medicine. But I was turned away just once and I said "What can I do to boost up my white blood cells?" Nothing you can do, it just builds by itself.
