Lots of prayers from California coming out to you, today. Drink as much water as you can and eat loads of deep green vegies if you can. We're all thinking of you and sending you positive, healing thoughts. Love, Vickie

Thanks for the info here. I just started all of this. After two rounds of AC (the last a week ago Friday) I got a slight fever (this morning). It was gone by the time I got to the clinic. But I got blood drawn anyway. My white cell count is 1 (1000 per cc / mm). It's good to know there are things they can do to help if it goes lower. They told me I could keep going to work but to stay away from crowds (like the Chicago Elevated Train, buses etc). I also get to call them again every time my temperature goes up. I wasn't expecting this after the second dose of chemo. But they were upbeat about it, I'm not that scared, and it helps to hear all of you talk about ways that they can address this [though I don't want to stop the chemo and it sounds like I want to avoid bone marrow biopsies...if only I had control over that].

Thanks,
Melanie
