    Hi Kari
    I don't know if this helps, but when we had to hold off on the chemo for a week due to low counts, I was told that chemo keeps working for 2 weeks. I too was worried that by not having chemo for a week, my body was ripe again for the tumors to grow. This now makes sense as I have to wait 2 weeks from my last chemo (last Wednesday) to have pet, MRI on the brain, and bone scans, Aug 17th and 18th, to see if this chemo is working.

    Hope this helps to relieve your worries, and if you have to wait a week, that should give your body a chance to come up naturally. I was told colorful vegetables, salmon and red meat could help!

    Praying right along with you that your counts come up.

    Hi Kari
    My wbc were critically low but was given the gemzar anyway on Monday and also that darn neulasta shot tuesday. Been vomiting again last night. Going in this morning for ultrasound of liver ducts. My stomach feels so sour and burpy, can't eat or drink before test. Been drinking ensures. Have you lost weight. I've lost 25 lbs. I hope you're feeling better this morning. I'm also triple neg. Strangely back in sept 09 I was told I was triple positive. Now I'm waiting for the hammers to start on my legs from the shot. That starts about 36 hrs later, so 1 a.m. tonight. Prayers to you.

    Can you take vitiams? If not how about just zinc? Also Have you tried Ensure for immunity? They have different types to choose from. I may start taking that.
    Good luck, I hope your counts go up sooon!

    I am so sorry, Kari. The food thing is the best way to bring counts up. I know it's a pain and seems like a lot of overwhelming work, but take it one thing at a time. The Noni juice is also a great idea. Please know you are in my prayers along with all the other prayers. That's a lot of power.

    Many Hugs,
    Pam
