Sam'swifeShirley Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hi Jonathan, Thanks for checking on me. I usually get on the board breifly once or twice a day but I'm not writing much. It's an energy thing. I got my first round of carboplatin and taxotere two weeks ago yesterday and my next one is next Wednesday. This has been really nasty stuff for me and I'm not doing much of anything. In spite of getting a shot of Neulasta the day after chemo, my WBC was next to nil a week later and I was put on house arrest. It's back up now. I've got a feeling it's going to be another long summer. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi, Sam. Lucie had about 6 rounds of chemo like yours. She went every three weeks, and usually the third week was fine, except for the last two times, when she didn't get the nice third week at all. She finished in May and is doing pretty well.

Guest Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hang in there tough Sam. Jan could never describe in words how bad she felt, especially during her last rounds of chemo. I could see it in her and it wasn't pretty. You will make it. We will be thinking about you and keep you in our prayers. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Hey Sam. Stick with it buddy. Keep your will strong. Do what you have to do - even if you don't feel like it. Try to eat when you don't feel hungry; drink when you don't feel thirsty; move around and exercise when you have no energy; and even talk when you don't have anything to say - call a friend, or ask the audience. YOU CAN DO IT SAM!! Take care, David P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
