    How are your blood counts?

    My second time around, i had 2 1/2 years with 5 different chemo.  Some were harder than others. When i was totally wiped out, my white counts were low.  I had to take naps, sometimes involuntarily, like everytime I sat down.  

    Some of the chemo"s were easier.  Weekly chemo slowed me down more than when it was every 21 days.  When it was every 21, I would be better about 5 days after tx.  Weekly I had about 2 good days a week on most of them.

    Thinking of you!

    PPurdin,

    Hugs to you and I'm always thinking of you and your journey. Thank you for posting your thoughts and questions because it answers so many thoughts I have running through my mind if mine comes back.  I wish you the best and see that you like the first time have new questions in this new phase as we all do.  I'm sure you will soon be able to crack the code of tolerating each step and discover patterns that will become familiar so you can feel more secure with the ups and down of round 2.  Bless you and only look forward.

    Bonbon
