Thumbs up Hi

Hi Believe
I am very happy that Ed feels that this combo is working. When my blood would go very low, my onc said it was because the chemo was "working".

Just my 2 cents again (don't want to start any controversy). I had two docs and 2 oncs who told me that the chemo was going to wipe out my white cells regardless of what I ate or how I supplemented. They said if I ate well and took supplements that the chemo would just "gobble" that up along with everything else.

I felt absolutely fine when my white cells were low. It was when my red cells were low that I couldn't lift my head off the pillow. We must have a different way of measuring up here across the border. A normal white cell count is anything over 6 or 7. I went to 0.8..........they called me bubble girl. I just had to wait, and within about ten days, the counts came back up.

Just my 2 cents
