6th shot tonight...

Wow I can't believe I made it this far. The lab won't have my viral load until Monday. I am running out of fumes here. I just walk upstairs and I feel like I have run 25 miles. My white blood count is at 2.3 Nurse said when he gets my viral load he will put me on procrit. Oh whoa is me...lol

Hang in there.  You mention procrit.  What is your Hgb now?  I think you might have talked about this in a recent post.

Also, the white blood count is related to the absolute neutrophil count (ANC).  If the ANC is too low it may increase the risk of infection.  Neupogen is given to raise the ANC level and usually works very quickly.  Good luck to you.
