Reaching out to a Community of Support

By on

I'm home! I was discharged yesterday evening and have been adjusting to being home again. I'm still waiting for the last of the mucositis to pass. I can't taste anything right now and still am not quite to eating solid foods yet, so I'm surviving on juice and smoothies. I can't wait to be able to taste and swallow without any pain again. I'm exhausted but things are slowly improving, and hopefully will keep improving so I don't end up back in the hospital.

Monday will start my going to outpatient appointments 3x per week. For the first 6 months, that will be my life; home and doctor appointments. I am not allowed to go out in public places or do a lot of other things, not even cleaning, until approved by the doctor. For now, I am not even allowed to drive.

Latest blood counts:

White blood cells: 2.8

Hemoglobin: 9.5

Platelets: 39
