Questionable treatment tomorrow

dixiegirl

I am not sure if I'll get my treatment tomorrow or not, will depend on my platelet count. Nurse told me today Dr. says it needs to be at 100. Won't know till morning about 8:30 or 9:00. She said she'd talk to the on call doc cause he didn't mention waiting until next week.

I hope it doesn't get pushed back, I've worked my emotions around getting it done this week. Plus I had the nurse leave the port open so they don't have to poke me every day and it's driving me frickin nuts. It is so bothersome tonight had to take a half a zanax to help me sleep.

Other than that, I'm good. Hope everyone else is too.

Take care,
Beth

Hi Beth,
I'll keep good thoughts for you that your treatment goes forward this week. It's sure an emotional roller coaster and my heart goes out to you. I was thinking of you this morning. Hope you get some good sleep and the port irritation goes away. My port has never bothered me..(knock on wood) Take care dear lady...Love...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)

I'll be praying and hoping for all the best. Those platelets can change quickly so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Bless you and a belated Happy Easter. Mary

Dear Beth,

It is 9:50 New Youk Time. By now you know one way or another if you're getting treatment.
I will look for your answer on your next post.

So sorry all the trouble you are having with your port. Great idea taking a Zanax. I am not a
pill popping person, but there are times when something is needed to help you along.
Life is too short to have to suffer with anxiety, depression or lack of sleep. So far, I have
no need for any of these medications. I want you to know, If any problems should ever
develop, I would not hesitate taking something to feel normal.

All my Love Maggie

it's a go
My count was something like 289 and it just needed to be 100 so it's a go.

Right now on bag 2 (Etoposide I think)

Hi Beth,
Houston...we have touch down!..ha! (I think thats what they say), or close to it..ha! I'm so glad it didn't get postponed and your counts were up enough. I hope the treatment won't knock you down too bad for the rest of the week, but we are here for you if the going gets rough. Hang in there friend. Much love...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)
