NEUTROPENIC

 Hi deep thinkers, 

You might be asking what does it mean to be neutropenic? It means the white blood cells are low. They can't fight infections like warriors anymore. Your immune system is too weak to survive, which leaves you open for infections to feast on your red blood cells. Having a messed-up defence system on the inside makes you become careful of food. You have to be careful of a few food groups such as: 

Berries

Ice-cream from a van.

Lettuce/Cucumbers. 

Some salad, and berries have bacteria's on them that the body can't fight against when undergoing treatment. You have to rest a lot. It's like a caterpillar going into a cocoon. You have to wear a mask most of the time. It's like having a secret identity. Maybe you'll be Miles Morales from Spiderman Into the Spiderverse. Being an outsider looking into the world, which is moving on around you while you're in a bubble of isolation. The loneliness eats away at you. It's like you're a shadow in the background, because you have step away from all human contact. It's like a quarantine from a unique disease. You can have an inner circle of parents, siblings, and nieces. That's all you get. In the ward no one can visit you due to infections. It's just you and your parents. 

The golden nugget of advice I'd give here would be: 

'When you're at your weakest, don't give up. Fight for the people who love you.'

You can also get sick. If you throw up, don't get upset about it. Some people can't look at vomit, it makes them panic. It'll get cleaned up, don't beat yourself up by worrying about it. Just make sure your upchuck reflexes are taken care of by the magic of anti-sickness. You can always hop in the shower. It doesn't matter how people react when they see you at your worst, people need to remain calm around you. 

I'll leave you to let thi sink into those noggins of yours.
