Message to white blood cells: RALLY!

July 22, 2009

At my Tuesday appointment my labwork indicated that my white cell count dropped again - this, after the promising numbers a week earlier. Frustrating! My dosage Tuesday was reduced by 25 percent and I am giving myself two doses of Neupogen (similar to Neulasta) via injection this coming Sunday and Monday morning. Hopefully this will boost me up so I can complete my last infusion next Tuesday. I really don't want this delayed, so cross your fingers the shots do their job!

I'm off to the support group at Gilda's Club this evening, mostly because they are serving Vietnamese sandwiches. ;)

Oliver is enjoying his summer camp at Kids Inc. - the go on lots of fieldtrips. Monday they rode the Duck and today they visited the Center for Wooden Boats.

Nice hot weather, eh?

Hang in there, Sheila. I can only imagine how frustrating it is. I'm glad you have the support group because I'm sure you'll find out that you aren't the only one that's gone through this. You're going to beat this bitch, you know that, don't you?
