and the white cell counts are in....

Kim should be coming home for a break before the next lot of chemotherapy, but her white cells are have a different idea. They are not building up as quickly as thought. With the white cell count being so low it would be dangerous even suicide for her to come home.

The chemotherapy damages the white cells hence the cell isolation room, to protect from infections during the treatment, and a low white cell count means that there is low or no defence against infection.

Kim was not that pleased that her cell count was keeping her from escaping the cell. She was desperate to see billy her chocolate Labrador, her mum and eat some decent food.

As I left her that night she was down, consoling herself with the DVD of Mamma Mia I had taken in that day.

I sat in the landrover, as it felt like someone was cheese grating my heart and soul. It was a bit more than just a single tear tonight.
