Apparently a new fancy drug came our.......according to the last string of comments! I am going for it......it's gotta be good stuff, right? I went in today, mostly to get my neulastan shot. My neutrophils were 0.80 and my white count was 2.6. Also, I needed some major hydration and some anti-nausea medicine. Not holding much down these days.....
New plan of action: I should have chemo on the 16th assuming all blood work comes back ok and then next PET scan is going to be 2 weeks from that. Then I will be referred out to a surgeon or an interventional radiologist for a form of radiation treatment. seems to change everytime I blog.
BTW, MRI came back negative for anything worrisome. Praise Jusus for that. Everytime I nod, I get zingers down the fron of my legs and my back has been acting up....but no tumers! Love goes out to you all!
Surgeon, interventional radiologist, BTW, MRI, PET, white count, neutraphils...you have been educating all of us. As long as this new plan gets you back to healthy you faster...and a few prayers added in.

Hey Cynthia ~ In looking things up, the neutrophil count is pretty good (am I right?) and the WBC are a bit low so you have to steer clear of sick people. Are they changing the chemo because the WBC count is low, or is this a new and "gonna get the cancer" drug?
ReplyDeleteI am glad it is summer so you and everyone can be outside instead of couped up with bacteria and viruses.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
