Spoke too soon...was suppose to get treatment today but platelettes were too low so get a week break. I guess that is my birthday present. My plates usually come back on their own if I get a week off. Hope everyone is doing good.

    George Too
    is in the "no treatment today" club. I figured he wouldn't get treatment the day before. Anyway, he got his Procrit shot and is getting Neuprogen shots. For George, the one week break will do him a world of good. The doc has him on a 3 weeks on, 1 week off regimen and it really is getting to be too much. Will talk to docs tomorrow, I would like him on a 2 week on, 1 week off regimen. Chemo 3 weeks in a row really gets him down.

    Take care all - Tina

    As it goes on...
    It takes more time to bounce back. Effects are cumulative. Enjoy the rest and gather strength by hydrating and eating well while you can!
