Nancy B Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I finished 5 days of chemo and spent the weekend just laying around - so very tired. I went today for Zometa and my wbc was 1.4, so got a shot of neulasta and a warning to stay away from people. My blood counts have gone down before but never this low. I meant to ask, at what point do they do a transfusion, but I forgot. Anybody know? My son was racing in Dallas last weekend and he clinched the Division 7 Championship and will probably end up 2 or 3 in the National Championship. He's 26 and a good kid. My husband really has a hard time handling illness so my son has said "call me Mom when you need a shoulder", and I have. Thanks for being here! God Bless, Nancy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary colleen Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 What a good son. My husband received a transfusion at just a hair under your current count, but they gave us the choice that day. Prayers for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I hope your counts come back up Nancy. I have never had to deal with low counts and don't know what the threshold is for transfusions. God bless you and yours too. don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I can't answer your tensfusion concerns, Nancy, BUT I can offer good luck to that great 'kid' of yours. And be sure to listen to the doc.......no hanging around germy people. I'm offering many prayers that you'll be feeling better pretty soon. Kasey Man was I tired last night when I got home. I just read about the 'tenfusion' and I had to look again. Of course it is TRANSfusion. Sheeeesh!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 You do have a great son-- and you must be proud he is doing well in racing. I hope the shot gets your counts up be lazy, stay inside and watch old movies or read a good book till your counts are safe to be in public.
