Mikee Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well it has been 1 month since we ran into this bump in the road. Char and I are going in today to see the onc. and check her blood. We are staying strong and positive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi, and thanks for the update! It's good to hear that Char is doing well in her taxol/carbo/avastin program. As she moves through the cycles you'll start to notice a pattern developing, especially if you keep a daily log. Occasionally I look back over mine for old times' sake, as it were. After a month on Avastin alone I stopped keeping daily notes -- nothing to say except that the taxol/carbo side effects slowly disappeared as time went on. Best to you both!

laban Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thinking about you and praying for you and Char to hang in there together. Stay positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this but we visted with the Onc. today and Char's blood level was a little low so they gave her two shots one for white blood cells and one for red. She will also go in tomorrow morning for follow up shots. This is to boost her count so that she will be ok to take her second chemo treatment next friday a week from now. For her white blood cells the is taking NEUPOGEN, (Filgrastim is the generic name) other names are G-CSF, Granlocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor and for the red blood cells she is taking ARANESP. Thanks for all the kind words of support and our hearts and prayers go out to each and every one of you all here on LCSC and everywhere else in this world that is in this fight. Together we will stay strong and beat the odds. Good luck and God Bless! Mike and Char Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Mike and Char, Keep thinking positively, it will help along your journey! My fingers are crossed that Char's blood counts will run back to normal soon. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
