Ulcer pain continues

Before this ulcer, I don't remember ever having an ulcer in my life, even eating spicy foods would not cause heartburn as it does for others. I'll never forget about this one. The pain continues. I'm taking daily pills of Prilosec as recommended by my GI surgeon at the hospital. It does seem to be better each day, but having the chemo drugs inside my body means it will probably take much longer for the ulcer to heal than normal.

Every Tuesday, I have blood work done. This morning, the nurse knew right away that I didn't drink enough water based on the color of my blood. The blood tests show my white blood count is through the roof.

I think the elevated count might be from the ulcer and the daily Neupogen shots I am receiving and might explain my slight fever on Thursday night after my feeding tube surgery. I see my oncologist for a checkup on Thursday and will ask her about it.
