After having a pretty rough time with Round one of chemo, round 2 seems to be starting off ok!
Round one was a nightmare, bone pain,white blood cell count so low I got to spend a week in the hospital! The Oncologist has put me on a drug called Neupegen. This is a very expensive drug ($3500.00 for each round of chemo). This is to prevent the low white blood cell.
Friday the 18th was round 2. So far so good, I have minor pain, and some really tired moments. But so far so good. Praying that this round will be a good one.
Phil is an awesome nurse, every night at 10 pm, he dutifully injects me with the neupegen. And he makes sure I am taking all the other medications that I am supposed to be taking.
It is good to know that I am now 50% done with the chemo! Only 2 more treatments to go. Sad to say my hair has all fallen out. I am getting really good at tying scarves!
Thank you all for you prayers and your support. Please keep praying that the cost of the Neupegen will be covered by insurance!
