My counts all improved, thanks to the Neupogen. That is the good news! The bad news is that I have added more things to my "normal!" And this medication is expensive! My co-payment for my 3 shots this week was $300 but the pharmacy cost was $2000! I'll give you a moment to do the math! At this point what am I going to say, no thanks?!?!? I kind of need this medication, ya know?! AMAZING! I will highly encourage each of the kids to go into pharmaceuticals!
So far I am feeling okay. I am taking the Zofran for nausea. My tongue is fried but that always happens before I even get home! I am tired and feel like I have the flu. I don't feel great but I have felt much worse in the past!
I get a kick out of some of the other patients and sadly, I am a member of their club. Neat folks, crappy situation but we have each other to bounce our experiences and troubles off of. I never thought I would need that but truthfully, few folks understand what it's like to be a chemo patient. Many try but you can't truly understand all of the nuances unless you live them.
The Milton's, Herrera's and LaRue's have been our meals on wheels to get us through this round. Love you guys! You have made this horrible ordeal a bit easier...

Hi there, dear friend...I have been totally out of the loop...our computer crashed sometime ago that had this blog on my "favorites" list (I sure wish there was no need for you to have a blog. I was wondering how/who is in charge of meals on wheels for you? I am out in San Bernardino all day, so I can't help with the kids much, but I would love to force you to eat some of my home cooking;) hugs to you!
