Dear Trisha,

You just stay at home and let yourself be pampered.

This chemo stuff takes alot out of you and you can't expect your body

to bounce back instantly.

I made the mistake of volunteering in my kids' school and going on an

overnight girl scout camping trip. Just surrounded by germs :-) It took

me 3 weeks to shake the cold I got.

Just rest, have vitamins, red meat, iron supplements, and whatever can

help your body. I started taking CoQ10 - it's suppose to build up your

immune system and is good for your heart.

take care,

[Guest guest]

Trish,

We all need a good whine now and then and you are certainly entitled!

Now if you could combine that with a good WINE you will be all set

and feel much better.

WHINE WHINE WHINE

Just got home from my weekly blood check and they were amazed that I am standing. (me too)

All of my blood counts are way way low...bottomed out. WBC = 0.4 GRAN = 0.5 RBC = 3.04

HGB = 10.3 HCT = 30.4 PLT = 38.

They gave me a shot of Aranesp to bring up the red, and ordered me to STAY HOME and prescribed Levaquin and told me to take it now and not wait. (My Neulasta shot was last Tuesday) Also told me to check my temp 3 times a day and if it reached 100.5 to go to the hospital and check myself in for a 4-5 day stay. My immune system is non existent with this low count and they are afraid I will come down with an infection and I would have no way to fight it.

I told them I went to Oklahoma this past weekend to my daughter's concert and they fell out!! Said that is the LAST place I should have been. When I told them I hugged everyone there they really had a spasm. All my family and friends were there that I hadn't seen in 4 years.

We were to go camping with our camping group tomorrow thru Thursday and he forbid that. A definite no no.

My mind as well as my body is really dragging. No wonder I slept most of yesterday. Probably will do so again today. I'm not sick... Just BONE TIRED.

Love you all. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Guess ending the chemo didn't end the problems.

Trisha,

Take it easy, now is not the time for you to get sick with something else. When your body says slow down, I guess we need to listen. Hope a few days will perk you up and your counts will start to rise. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, poor Trisha, you whine as much as you like - you're entitled to, and that's what we're all here for!

We all know you're a strong minded lady, but your body isn't all that strong at present, so you just look after it properly. None of this offering it germs and tiring exercise, however much fun that sounds ...

It takes a long time for chemo to work itself out of your body, so if you're tired you just rest. Pamper yourself. Or better still let someone else pamper you!

You will get through this, you'll see -

Love and hugs,

Margery.

That does sound familiar............I have slept the last three days away. With time in between for meals. The chemo is hitting me harder this time and I suppose it is accumulating in its effect. So I will get to bed early tonight and hope I have energy tomorrow.

Got the runs too, so my stomach is lurching around.

Next year at this time.................I will be glad I went through this chemo. And radiation next.

Hi .... And all,

Thanks for the good wishes.

WOW this last one really has me by the boobs...lol I have never been this weak and I feel so useless. Knowing that our fellow RV campers are all out camping together today and we are sitting at home really hacks me off. I hated being grounded when I was a kid and I hate it even more now. Lol Girls just wanna have fun!!!

I am feeling better today. I went to the Radiologist yesterday to set up my radiation program. I am to return the 15th to map out the plan and get the tattoos. I just want all this "body" stuff to be O V E R.... As all of the rest of you do.

My radiologist prescribed Neurotin for me to take at night and last night was the first night I have been able to fall asleep right away for a lonnnnnnng time.

I haven't been able to get out and get any "boosters" for me. Had to stay away from the grocery stores and such. But like I say, I am feeling better and stronger today so perhaps tomorrow I can get out.

Hugs

Trisha

Trisha,

Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Don't over due... better to miss one RV trip than the whole summer.

It is so encouraging to hear so many of 'you' getting to the end of the treatment and yet, so upsetting to see so many new members just since I joined on. We may have good treatments, and thank the Lord we do, but we need better detection, better prevention, better cures.

Sorry, off the soap box now.... just take care of yourself.

I know the drs told me to stay away from grocery store on weekends and big sale days. But I am getting so tired of being home alone I have cabin fever. So I was invited out for lunch today and I accepted. Nine of us who exercise at the Sr Health Clinic get together once a month. And we had loads of laughs today, so then I went shopping for short sleeved blouses and ended up with three....Penneys had a sale. Also, had to pick up my new drawer pulls and knobs for kitchen cabinets. With my fingers peeling it was gettting harder to open those dumb cabinets without any hardware on them. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyway, so I am feeling much better today and tomorrow is watercolor painting class.....then on Friday I have my second chemo IV of month four. He did say I could stop after five months and I am seriously considering that.

, I am praying for your husband too. And for you. I too love this group.

Didn't venture out today...will try tomorrow. Getting stronger by the day now.

THANKS so much for the note.
