Congrats Sue
Put your seatbelt on Sue, the ride is about to begin and it all will move very quickly. Almost to the point of thinking "slow down" my brain can't comprehend all the information overload.
I was really surprised to find out some info today from my onc. Didn't realize how much radiation we are exposed to.
Enjoy the chick flicks and the time to just be quiet. I treasure my alone time
Let us know how Monday goes chickie!

Great advise John. I took someone with me so they could make sure I got answers to the questions I had.
Hopefully they'll get started soon, the waiting is torture. Once things start moving they seem to go so fast it's hard to keep up.
How you feeling by the way?0 -

Vinny, sorry to see you're getting worn down, but the goal is in sight!
Are you having any issues with neuropathy yet? I got to the point that I couldn't hardly write and getting my hands and feet to work properly was an everyday battle!0 -

Vinny, Yea I been lucky so far with the treatments. I hope it keeps up. I did notice with the second one I had shaking in the hands about 3 days out. It only lasted a day, but it felt like I had MS. I could not control it. Its like a bad case of the nerves. It is not painful just aggravating. I go tomorrow for round 3 and with a little luck I hope it goes well. I know you are going for round 4 and hope you do well. Have you heard anymore about your blood counts?0 -

Believe it or not my left foot goes completely numb, and I start getting leg cramps in the same leg, when my WBC's go in the bucket. It's like my body's own alarm clock working...... wierd! Vinny0 -

Hey John, my count's drop so low after Chemo,but bounce back after the two shots they give me after Chemo...... would be great just one week not to have to get two shots!!!!! I don't think that will happen, my Onc told me it's because of the prior Chemo I had for my Head and Neck cancer....... good luck tomorrow, give them hell!!!!!! Vinny0 -

Hey John...Glad your feeling good today! Bummer you won't stay that way with round 3 happening tomorrow. How long will it take for you to feel better again in between each round? I wish the "great days" would last longer for you. Sorry!

Sue, I will be fine for about 2-3 days after treatment and then start to yoyo back and forth. It will be more down days than up ones. About ten days out it will start to even out more. The week before the next round and it will be more ups than downs. The 3 -4 days before the next round I am ready to climb Mt. Everest because I am feeling so good. Then, BOOM its time for the next round. The second round was better than the first,but I don't know how round three will go. The neulastra shot has really helped a lot though. I get that the day after the chemo. They have to wait 24 hrs. I really consider myself lucky so far with very little side effects. Just the usual tiredness. The tiredness is hard to explain. I feel like my body is worn out, but I am not really sleepy. When I do go to sleep I will wake up just as tired. Thats when I know its going to be one of those days. It does not get any better as the day goes on. If I wake up feeling good then thats usually how it is the rest of the day. Thats how it goes for me me anyway. It is a real roller coaster ride to say the least. John0 -

Sue,
My 3rd R-Chop is Wed Aug 4th. I will feel better about 8 days after that. My counts have been good, no need for red or white cell boosting shots. That doesn't mean that my counts haven't been on the low side or that I haven't been afraid of infection, I have. I was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell NHL on June 21, 2010. Positive bone marrow involvement, so stage 4, no sweats, so, type A (I think).
My side effects from treatment are not as bad as what other people suffer. i like and crave very spicy foods...black bean soup, kosher pickles, bbq ribs....so hard to understand how differently this disease and treatment effects each of us; for me especially because by profession, I am a registered professional nurse; by LOVE of trade, I am a general manager of a large, nation wide pet specialty retail store....oh, or at least I was until my onco said that I couldn't work anymore due to exposure to germs. I'd be glad to offer you any information from my personal experience with this disease, just ask. You have a positive attitude and appear to be a fighter; I imagine you will do fine. Kellie0 -

Oh, yeah... Like John said, tired. I left that out. Tiredness that is very overwhelming. Just plan on taking many naps and embrace each and every one of them!0
