One More Ixempra To Go---(hopefully)

April 1st Will Be My 6th Ixempra Treatment And Then I Go For Ct Scan The Next Week. I Have Found Ixempra To Be Very Tolerable. But When I Get The Two Shots For White Blood Cells (Neupigon & Neulasta) I Find Myself So Tired That I Usually Lay On The Couch For About 3 Days. It May Be The Combo Of Chemo & Shots. My Boyfriend Always Worries About Me When I Am Too Tired To Go To Wal-mart. Well, Maybe One More Day On The Couch And Then I Can Make It To Wal-mart Tomorrow.

Well, I only had one injection of Neulasta once when my counts were dangerously low, and I remember it did make me feverish and fluish for a couple of days, so it very well could be the combination on all three...you're getting a triple whammy! Maybe by tomorrow you'll feel like shopping :)

Hey Sheila! I'll thinking about you and praying for good results from your scan and I hope that'll be your last treatment. Please be careful in Wal-mart. Everytime I go in there, I feel the energy getting sucked right out of my body, and then the next thing you know, my money is getting sucked right out of my wallet, too. Love, Bill

Hope your energy picks up soon and most of all I hope the chemo is working and that your ct scan is all good.

My lower legs used to get real heavey after I had gotten those White/red blood cell booster shots. You might want to push the shopping cart for some support while in Wal-Mart. Happy shopping! :)

Sheila,
