This week's chemo is delayed
Two weeks ago I was able to talk my way past a low blood count and still get the chemo. This week the doctor said "no" when the count was the same low number (1.1 instead of 1.5 minimum). We'll try another blood test on Monday and try to get the chemo in then.
It's getting close to the end of this round of chemo. If I can get three more in before the 10th of December, then I'm done with chemo. I'll still get the Herceptin every 3 weeks for 9 more months but that stuff is pretty easy to take.

Hi Carolin,
First to say...we REALLY missed you at dinner last Wed. So sorry about picking a Chinooking day.
Second, have you had the Neupogen conversation with your Dr.? My neutrophil count went down to 0.5 after treatments so they eventually gave me a Rx for this which stimulates the bone marrow to make more WBC's. Doing my own injections was a bit "yucky" and it made the bones ache a little but worked like a darn and kept me on schedule. I also read that B12 injections will help with both RBC's and WBC's. You have probably already considered these but just in case..
Still thinking of you often...Barb B
