~White Count At 900!! Uggh!!
Despite the disciplined measures to eat and supplement, Hubby's white cells are at 900!! Today we will be of to get a dose of Neulasta to hopefully keep him on his regime timewise. You would think that one would feel weak with numbers that low but not My Oak. I just thought I would write, especially for our newbies who read such signatures as his, to help them to keep the faith. Although the Taxotere did work and almost achieved NED, he knew when it stopped working. He knew the Tykerb/Xeloda combination NEVER worked and that it made his numbers skyrocket. But he has said that he feels that this combo IS working!! Now no one knows for sure right now but I have to go by his feelings since they have always shined through for everything since the before we started this journey (he knew he was direly ill and an IBC dx almost always starts at stage 3B & above).
So friends, although this low count is disturbing to me, we were aware this may happen. We were ready and now we will fight back for that too. And to all our Newbies, I usually write more frequently to each and every one and if I have missed you Welcome!! Count our blessings and fight the best way we can. Sending love and hope>>Believe51
PS: Wanted to let you know he is taking all of his vitties like a good boy. Thank you My Supplement Gurus!! LOL!
