dadstimeon Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Saw my oncologist Wednesday. The chemo treatment for my ITP was a success and she was very pleased (me too) with the results and now hopefully the platelets will stay up--time will tell. Starting Alimta next week. Other then fatigue (some minor things) my spirits are good and my attitude is even better. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Quote
