Seen the oncologist today. He said that the mass in my cervix. Seems to be just a fluid built up from surgiry. He also was going to change my meds around so I will not get so sick. but they have to see if my insurance will pay for it. Because is cost about $3000 a dose. I was not able to get chemo today because my white blood count was to low. They are going to check me on Wednesday and see if I can get it then. They put me on Decadon, and reglan. Hope it helps.

    Good luck with the insurance
    Good luck with the insurance co. I missed a Folfox treatment due to low WBC. Didn't make a difference in the long run. Enjoy the "time off." You'll be back at it soon.

    Thanks for checking in. I was thinking of you. So glad to hear that the cervix is just fluid. I hope that your insurance will cover your meds and that your counts come back up for your treatment.

    Appointment
    Great that your appointment was better news than you expected. Hoping the med change will help you tolerate the chemo either. Delaying chemo is very common. Mine was usually delayed a week at a time. Good luck on Wednesday.

    Thinking of you and I am so glad that it is just fluid buildup. Hang in there...you are doing great! Take a little breather...get those white cells up...continue with treatment...done before you know it. Sending you hugs and positive vibes.

    Hi Pepe!
    For a second I wondered what a "crevix" was; then I realized you typed the "r" + "e" in the wrong order. You are one brave man, discussing female parts in a second language! LOL - I am sure you have learned a lot from this board!

    Hey Anne. Sometimes it's
    Hey Anne. Sometimes it's hard for us dudes to talk about the girl stuff, even in our first language. I started to say, "That's awesome about the fluid in your cervix," but it just didn't seem right. I guess I should get over that. lol

    Pepe, good news!
    Now I know how to say "cervix" in two languages. I'm just not sure when I'll use it in Spanish; I barely use the word in English!
