 I went to see the doctor today for blood work and so he could see how I handled my first round of the new chemo.

My white blood cell count is down but he is satisfied with the number. It was 2.3.

My red blood cell count was also down. He wanted me to get that awful Aranesp shot. I basically begged and asked if we could wait until I had the IV in my port. It burns so bad. So he wrote me prescription for Procrit instead for this week. I got it in my tummy. It is MUCH MORE tolerable than the Aranesp AND the Neulasta.

Overall he's happy since I don't have anymore chest pain AND because I did so well on the chemo.

Stacy, it was great to hear that your blood tests were good. It sounds like you are going to tolerate this new regimen pretty well. Also good to hear that you're still taking an active part in your treatment -- that's important.
Love, Peg

Hi Stacy,
I just checked in. I'm glad to hear that your blood tests were OK and that you got to put off the awful medicine.

Keep hanging in there. My prayers are going strong for you every day.

Glad to hear all is well with you. It looks like the last round of chemo went well. I am on your site often but usually get called away or distracted before I can leave you a message - NOT THIS TIME DANGIT!! Give your girls (and boy) a hug from me and I hope you keep up the good work.

I am Soooooooo happy to here you are feeling some better and you can drive again. I am doing well and the 6 dogs are fine. The geese are doing well. The Iguana that I gave Anthony has turned out to be a lover, if it sees food it tries to get to it in or out of the cage, it loves to be held and had feed. Oh have you ever looked up any info on the "alligator turtle" I think that is what you might have. They live in water and use their tongue as bait to catch food... You keep the faith and keep us all in prayer... Love Ya
