Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Good morning Dede, I should be filling everyone in, but it has been the most awful week. My hematcrit dropped to 9.7 and I had to have the shot (Aranesp) to bring it up. I was so exhausted that I spent almost 4 full days in bed. My blood counts still have to be low, as I am still basically unable to do anything but the lightest of things. I cannot walk through a store or do anything like that. I am pretty much homebound. I hope the counts go up, but this sounds like something I will be continuing to get throughout the rest of my chemo. I have not gotten all the facts as all I saw was a nurse who administered the shot. No real answers. When I read the side effects of this drug I felt like I was signing my life away. But, I have not had much side effects, some nausea and diarrhea. Leg aches. The hand-foot syndrome has been much less this month, so that is good. I have iced my feet and hands and kept them with good creams on them the whole time. For some reason this month they have just not been as bad. I have had a lot of things to take care of and no energy to do anything. Bob's kids (grown up and all married but one) came and they all went on a 5 day trip to W. Colorado and E. Utah parks. I had planned to go before the cancer and chemo, but there was not way. Too many complications and side effects to take care of. I will fill in more later. Next chemo is due on the 13th (we were trying for the 6th, they may still try for that, but I don't think my body can handle it yet). Need that love, healing energy and lots of prayers. Don't need to spend any more time in bed in total exhaustion. Lynda At 06:17 AM 6/2/2008, you wrote: >Goodmorning Lynda ~ >How are you feeling ?

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Darling Lynda: Honey, we are all praying for you. Please just relax, and things will get better. Our computer is causing us some major problems, we have had one virus after another. This happened the day that we went to our Joyce's site. She has worked so hard to to get the website up and running. I have not had a chance to get to her site. Honey, just know that we are all here for you if you should need us. Sending love and support to you....Lea and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Re: Hello Lynda Good morning Dede,I should be filling everyone in, but it has been the most awful week.
