A Bad Case of Pukaphobia

Day #3 I have a slight fever and they want to do a throat culture right while I’m getting bag #3 of Chemo. Those of you who know me well know that I have a bad case of pukaphobia – the fear of throwing up! Well, the Chemo plus swabbing my throat ended my 35 year record being throw up free! Sigh! The fever turned out to be nothing – but they worry so about fevers as my white blood cells and platelets are being totally depleted by the chemo.
