In medical terms, myelosuppression is when chemo knocks your bone marrow down, and febrile neutropenia is the dangerous fever you get when your white cells crash. G-CSF is the injection to push your marrow to make more cells. But in this Mumbai hospital, that injection brings a deep *kumne*—a longing—for the cool stones of my father's bridges, because here it means my fever broke but also that I'm too weak to even hold a pencil to sketch them. The book answer says G-CSF helps; my life says it measures the distance between survival and home.
