So a few things have happened since my first treatment.
1) Hair started to fall out, so I shaved my head
2) Went in for my second treatment and my white blood cell count was too low for them to safely administer the chemo drugs...so I get to go to the hospital monday, tuesday, and wednesday for white blood cell inducing drug injections (neupegin), and my treatments are now on thursdays so I can get the white blood cell inducing drug injection (neulesta) on Fridays. This means I will not be coming home as planned, so for all those who want to see me, you have to come to me.
Other than that, everything's normal, my body feels good and only my bones hurt after the neupegin injection.
FYI, the wish list has been updated so if you didn't see something that you wanted to buy me before, maybe there's something now.
peace,
Nick

AccNick, Dad sent a picture of you at the redsox game sans hair? Hard to tell cause of the hat. I'm sure you are just as handsome. I hear its not bad to have the white cell count go down as it means the chemo is working well. Thanks for updating the blog! See you on the 25th! Love, Mom.
I sent you some South Parks. Let me know if you don't get them.
Jack is shaving his head in solidarity with you.
We're so sad you can't come home this summer. However, by the time I save enough for a return trip to N.Y. you'll be living on the West Coast again. Much love to you, Aunt Diane
