My deepest sympathies for the loss of your dear Dad wendyr

Laurie, I'm so sad to hear of your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies. wendyr

So sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to you and your family wendyr

Hi Wendy and welcome from another Wendy. You don't say if low blood counts are RBC or WBC but there are shots for each. Have you been offered any of them? Stay with us and let us help you on this journey. Good Luck & God Bless wendyr

Hi y'all. I guess someone sent me a pm but unfortunately it's not in my inbox. Katie tells me it's possible that the sender deleted their messages before I could open this one. Soooooooo.....if you sent me a pm would you kindly re-send or send it thru email. Many thanks........wendyr

Laurie, I had no idea about your sister in law. Did you ever post it? I must have missed it. But I am very sorry to hear she's losing her fight and cannot imagine what this must be doing to you. Yes, it is very hard to talk on the phone. That one I understand completely. Same situation over here. Stress is a strange thing. Even though we know we're being stretched every which way, we somehow go on auto pilot and cope. People on the outside always get it wrong. They think we're 'calm, strong etc, etc) but the fact of the matter is we're screaming inside and just want the stress to go away. Kinda like a duck. Nice and serene on the surface and paddling like hell underneath. I would just like this awful fatigue to ease up, just for a little while. That would be great. Well congratulations on your pot roast and I'm glad Bill enjoyed it in spite of all that is on your minds right now. Best wishes for successful outcomes of all Bill's upcoming tests. I hope it goes very well for you both. God Bless wendyr

Debi, you and your family are still in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all Wendyr

Mom is a grown woman and even though we think we can make people do things, the reality is that we can't Please don't go down that 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' road. You;ll be beating yourself up unnecessarilly (sp) and it's doubtful that it will change anything. You have done your best and that is all anyone can do. wendyr

My husband had neulasta as an injection andI second everything Ned said wendyr

Hi my husband takes 20mg oxycontin 3xdaily and is able to function quite well. He also takes oxycontin ir 5mg for breakthrough pain. There are a lot of pain med combinations and the best person to talk to is your mother's onc. The onc can start her out with milder pain meds and increase as the situation needs. wendyr

Welcome Ken: the initial news and diagnosis is shocking, mind numbing and terrifying. We've all been there and understand what you're feeling. The one thing you'll hear repeated here over and over is the importance of a second, and sometimes a third opinion. You have done the best possible thing by going to MD Anderson in Houston (my hubby goes to MD Anderson in Orlando) They will do all the tests that need to be done and work with you on a treatment plan. Once a treatment plan is in place, you'll start to feel a little better. Please continue to post and let us know how we can help you. There is a wealth of information and support here. Good Luck & God Bless wendyr

my condolences on the loss of your Dad. wendyr

(((Debi))) I'm shocked to read of Tony's passing. He was such a valiant warrior. A tiger, and you such a loving advocate for him. I'm so very, very sorry. Please accept our deepest condolences. Wendy & Maurice

Good news, Nova. Congratulations. wendyr

Very exciting, let's hope it continues to show promise. wendyr

(((DGB))) Hugs to you. You have been an amazing daughter in the face of terrible adversity. Your situation with your sister will play out in due time, but for now Mom is at rest and at peace. Prayers for strength for the difficult days ahead. God Bless wendyr

Welcom LMlV: Glad you took the opportunity to introduce yourself, and a big congratulations on your 3 year anniversary. That's quite an achievement.

Hi Terry: Welcome to the board and the best source of help, info and support on the web. I cannot answer your question as to whether any of this is related or not. But please post here after you get the results of your MRI. There will be folks here who will be able to answer your questions better than I. In the meantime, welcome. Good Luck & God Bless wendyr

Well Punky, I too had a nerve root block on monday & had a numb leg for most of the day. If it's any consolation it was about 9 months after diagnosis that I was finally able to let loose and have a good cry. Couldn't get the water works turned off for another 2 months, but it does clear your mind when you're able to have a good cry. Good Luck & God Bless wendyr
