TAnn Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Saw the onc yesterday. We've decided to start Gemzar again, this time without the carboplatin a week from Saturday. We will also be doing a lower dose hoping this will keep my blood counts from dropping. (Apparently when I was in the hospital my platelets dropped so low that they were very worried I would "bleed out" and I had 2 transfusions of platelets as well as 2 units of blood. More bad news, I have 2 large lumps in my right breast. They are scheduling me for an ultra sound to see what's up with that! We upped my dosage on the Duragesic pain patch from 12mcg to 25mcg, hopefully it won't zone me out and will do better with the pain control.

Sending prayers that it is the "magic bullet" and also prayers that the breast lumps are cysts.

Patty Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Lots of thoughts, prayers, and very best wishes for good results. Those big lumps are more than likely nothing but maybe a side effect of something else and will probably go away as quick as they came. Sincerely, Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
