Day 226

WOOHOO!!!! Terry had his post tx 6 month blood work done.....

TERRY IS CURED!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!

:) Congratulations Terry! :)




Yesterday morning was busy. I woke up at 6:30 and had to be at my Family Doctor by 7:30. I haven't seen him since I started tx and I had to a refill on my Propanolol for my heart. It was a nice visit. He's very supportive.

By the time I got out of his office I had just enough time to make it to work.

Run, run, run.....not the thing to do while on tx.

I made it to work on time and the work day was busy.

By late afternoon my study nurse Sandy called. My Lymphocytes have gone from .29 to .33 . Not the increase that I would have liked....but an increase no less. I'm staying on tx and hoping that my Lymphocytes continue to go up.

My Haemoglobin is still pretty low so more than likely I'll stay on the Procrit.

Now I'm waiting for the Doctor to look the blood work results over to determine if anything needs to be adjusted on my meds. I might still be able to get rid of one of my Nuepogen shots.

I've taken 122 injections so far (my poor tummy!)....61 of those have been Nuepogen. It would be nice to get rid of at least one a week.

Last night I did the normal to bed at 7:30. It seems like my body shuts down with the sun.lol

Woke up this morning sluggish and moving slow. You'd think that I'd be wide awake after 11 hours of sleep, but no, waking up comes slow.

Still the reduced dosage is much easier on me. Last week was better than the week before and this week has been a little better than that. I guess that makes next week even more promising.

It's Friday again.....All the rest of the days seem to go by so slow, but not Fridays! They seem to just jump right up.

16 more Fridays to go.

Have a nice Day Everyone.
