    Hi Nancy
    I'm having issues with jaundice, low wbc. I'll be getting neulasta shot tomorrow. I hate that. I have mosquito bites that aren't healing at all. Looks nasty. Kari and I are on the same stuff, same days too. What a coincidence. Don't know if she's taking neulasta too. My sister and husband both came with me this morning to #2. That was a blessing. She gave me some relaxation cd's, sounds great. Tomorrow I have an appt. to get a wig from ACS and for shot. The nurse said I would lose my hair, but I just don't care this time. As long as I get thru this. I've lost 12 lbs in a week. It's not a pleasant way to do it. The nurse just about sprinted back to doctors office. I just pray for the best.

    Laurissa & Kari...
    Am keeping both of you within my most HOPEFUL thoughts & prayers. For your own inner strength to continue and make it through. Most of all for successful treatments.

    Kind regards, Susan

    Hi Laurissa

    Hi Laurissa

    My naturopath onc recommended Claritin the day before, of and day after when I get my Neulasta shot. I didn't do well with the first one, and then I tried it this time, and did much better. I've seen others on here say the same...you might ask!

    Gentle hugs to you Laurissa ...
    I prayer the very best for you, and Kari. Hoping you find some relief from all the nausea, soon. Neulasta shot will help you boost WBC counts unfortunately the shot comes with its own series of side efforts, as we all know.

    Keep up the faith ..

    Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Anyone hear anything lately
    Anyone hear anything lately from either Kari or Laurissa?
