6 down – 12 to go!!
Breast Cancer December 8th, 2006Well I am almost there, I had my last nasty drugs treatment on Wednesday. My red blood count didn’t come up and in fact is a little lower so I expect that starting tomorrow (or Sunday) I will be feeling pretty dragged out. I take comfort in knowing that by next Thursday I should be feeling better.
Starting Dec. 20th, I begin my weekly treatments of Taxol, which I have been told should be better. The amount of drugs I have to take will be reduced so that will be nice. Since I am in a clinical trial, I will no longer be getting my Neulasta shot so I will have to be a bit more careful being around people who are sick. Of course, if my white count drops too much, they will start me back on Neulasta. I will continue to get my red blood count boosters though. They told me it would take a couple of shots of the red blood count booster before I felt a difference. Hope it kicks in soon!
I’ll keep you posted.
Love, Lori
