marym Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I went for my second chemo of this cycle and again had a problem with white blood count. They elected to give the chemo and the next day I had to go back for a shot of neulasta. Hope it helps me. I have felt so great the last week and a half - like I wasn't ill. I even swam yesterday and the day before - for the first time since May. And I did almost a mile. They think the change is related to a reduction in the dosage of my chemo. I hav a week off, so I hope the blood counts rebound. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Mary, I was told that while undergoing chemo and any time my white cells crashed I should not swim, nor visit spas or hottubs. I'm not exactly the spa or hottubbing type, but I do like to swim. You may want to ask your Physician about the safety of swimming in your present situation.

SDianneB Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Mary, that feeling good is worth a lot, huh! Fortunately, I have few "bad" days, and as long as I feel good -- feel decent even -- it gives me the motivation to keep at this survival thing! You hang in there, and continue to feel good!
