"No one knows the story of tomorrow's dawn." ~ Ashanti Proverb
I was so upset about my counts going even lower. I have been on the phone with Vanderbilt regularly and through many different channels they have traveled, it was finally determined that I could use Neupogen. This is a shot of 'fake' white counts that are intended to boost the counts of people who need improvement in that area. The shots worked beyond my wildest dreams. I now have to get my blood work taken again on Monday and hopefully my body will be able to sustain the better counts.If it does, I will keep my appointment on the 21st and begin all of the screening tests and they will determine if I am a good candidate for the clinical trial....the ones I already thought I was in if my counts went up. This journey is a constant roller coaster.
Hi Cindy & Eddie,
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are improving with your white blood count. Hurray for Nupogen. How about how much that shot hurts though? OUCH, I shudder with the memory.
Love ya,
