Hi All,
Actually I was rushed backed to the Cancer Center Fri afternoon. Had a fever of 103.8° was throwing up, and because of very low RBC had to have 2 bags of blood. They couldn't find anything in particular. Gave me IV antibiotics and lots of fluids. No blood infection. They think all this from the "easily tolerated chemos!" Gemzar/navelbine is killing me. Nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, and am losing my hair. Jeesch!
I was also having pain at the top of my spine, so an MRI was scheduled yesterday at 5pm. My oncologist called this evening to tell me, "No new growth, and in fact a slight decrease in the size of my cyber-treated tumor. This must be from the chemo, cause C-K doesn't work this quickly!
Anyhow, something is killing my memory. (And if anyone suggests Old Age I WILL track you down and kill you.) I totally forgot when I spend long times at my computer, I will get that pain! Duh!
So, wish me luck with my continuing treatments. I hope I can do 5 cycles.
I hope there is no more bad news on the board. The last time I was on, it seemed like most of the news was bad. I vote for 2004 to be a great year for ALL OF US!
