Greetings friends,
First, let me apologize that it's taken me so long to write. Chemo #3 seemed uneventful at first, but then I had to have another shot of Neulasta for WBC (white blood count) and things got progressively worse. Back to looking like a blowfish and feeling really lousy. But alas, it's been a week or so since the worst of it and I'm headed down to my home gym to try my best to hold on to what's left of my wastline.
Yesterday I went for bloodwork and found that my RBC's (red blood cells) have tanked as well, so to avoid a blood transfusion (yuck!), I got a shot of Procrit. Same side effects as Neaulasta - just not as severe they tell me. I'll have those weekly now - Neulasta just after chemo.
So.....the fight continues. I've got God forging the path in front of me, and many of you walking along with me. Thanks so much for your continued prayers.

Thanks for the update. We have been praying for you and hoping you feel better soon. Hang in there and God Bless You! SB
puffy, bloated feet need love, too. how about this weekend for a pedicure?
I'm so sorry you're having to go through the yucky part of this. A few (very few) get to escape some of this and I was hoping and praying you'd be one of them. Just keep looking to the future -- think about how 100 years from now you'll be able to look back on this time. Maybe even laugh about it.
