Question about 12 week blood work

[Guest guest]

Good Morning,

It has been a long time since I have posted and I hope everyone is

doing well. Lynn, I'm glad to know you are almost done with tx.

You must be eager to end this 'journey'. Even though my sides aren't

too bad, I still can't wait to be done and I have a VERY long way to

go. I guess for me it's all the little freaky sides that are

starting to drive me crazy. I seemed to have acquired a bladder

infection that will not go away. They think it's because my WBC

count is low. I believe they told me if it goes down to 1.5 they

will start me on Neupogen. I have all these funky skin rashes but

all in all I can't complain.

I will soon be getting my 12 week blood test done and I'm getting

really nervous. It has never occurred to me that this tx may not

work, but I guess its a very real possibility. I am doing everything

I should and eating right, drinking water only, etc. So if things

don't work out, I know it's nothing I could have done anything

about. Anyway, should the test be done at 12 weeks or 3 months? My

12 weeks is this Friday, but 3 months is next Friday. Does it really

matter? When did everyone else get their blood test? Since I will

be on vacation at the end of July and my doctor will be out in the

beginning of August, I will have to wait until Aug. 12th for my

results.

Take Care,

Chris
