this past Tues was too low for me to get my Chemo Gemzar. The hemogloblin was a 6 and they said that my white count and red count were to low also. So I ended up getting the shot to boost your white count 3 days in a row and and on Wed sent me to the hospital to get two units of blood for the first time. I real say I do feel a little better. But my Dr & Nurse are highly encourage me to stay away from people cause my counts being to low right now. Just want to share this someone. Thanks

    Those were the days I spent
    Those were the days I spent on the phone or watching a movie I never had time to watch!
    Between netflix and hulu you can usually find some thing to watch. Bead work and that scrap book were good to work on too.....
    I don't know about you, but when I first started it was kinda nice to have forced relaxation. It took a month before I even started getting bored!

    Awww... sorry to hear your cell counts are down. I remember all too well when my numbers were low, you body feels so sluggish. It's good to see you are at least getting a jump start on those Christmas presents.

    Here's to better days ahead...
    Hugs,
