shot number 9 tonight

[hondapatches]

took shot number nine tonight then procrit tomorrow night, then transfusion on Monday. I am just falling apart. Hoping things will get better. God bless us all with these side effects. I guess what don't kill will cure us. Happy Holloween!

That's  such a shame that there lack of following up on at least bi-weekly labs let you get so low.Ask them to give you a standing order script for your cbc at whatever lab you go to.Then if you feel like something 's not right just get it taken, the results are usually avail the following morning.Two more days at least and the weight will lift.Stay strong.

I don't know they were taking blood everyweek the first month, then they waited a month to check it again. There going to have to start checking it more often

Thank you all for your prayers and support, it really helps to know that you are all out there pulling for me, as I am pulling for you. May God bless and Keep you all through this battle. Sunshine & Peaches...forever

I can relate.  I've felt that way some days myself.  Just make it through today and adhere to your medication regimen.  Be gentle with yourself and ask for help.  I'm pulling for you.

Take care, Sherry

I am soo very sorry to hear all you are dealing with and you are definitely in my prayers.  I pray that you will find some relief once you take your procrit.
Blessings to you, Anita

Incivek is a tough drug but you should feel better with the transfusion.  Thankfully you are almost done with this phase.  I finished with Incivek on 10/7 and although still anemic, feel much better.  Hang in there!

Hi Patches,

Sorry it's getting rough.  Seems to build up but we are getting closer to week 12.  Hopefully we are in the camp that finds it easier without incivek.  The transfusion should help, I think I am envious! Isn't that sad!  I seem to be right on the edge.  Hang in there!

[Vannh9]

So sorry you are dealing with all of this, but surely it will ALL be worth it. I hope the transfusion works wonders. I will be thinking about you!!

Take care

Vann

and also make us stronger.  I recommend taking it step by step, and after the transfusion you will feel better, what is your hgb now.?  I had low hgb too, and they cut my Riba from 1200 to 800 it kinda helped but getting through treatment is what really helped.  
feel better and get in and out of the hospital...
