Re: Phil & I are back tired but doing well

[Guest guest]

It is wonderful news that he tolerated treatment so well. I slept

thru all mine too because of the benadryl. Yes, it must be the

erbitux that smells bad. I could not stand the smell that emanated

from my body, especially my hands. My daughter said I smelled

musty. It had to be the erbitux because the smell disappeared after

I stopped treatment. 1:9

We do have a blood transfusion scheduled for early AM tomorrow as his blood

Procrit shot there.

But all in all it was a good day. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Narice, I am so sorry that it was such a long day for the both of you

at chemo. Sounds like Phil used it to his advantage. Hope he is

rested. Of course I am concerned that the chemo will fatigue him. He

sure seems to be doing good so far. I am Praying that it stays that

way. I hope his blood counts go up.

I do not understand how he can have the energy to walk the dog for

so long when his counts are so low. When my counts were low I was

tired all the time.

When does he have chemo again? Good luck tomorrow getting the blood

transfusion. Prayers to the both of YOU!!! Ingrid

Well thank goodness that Phil had a good day. All that sleep was good for

him no doubt, and no reaction to the meds.

Hope it continues to go well through this session of chemo. God Bless and

Hugs. Jolene
