Hi All,

I'm in week 4 of Tx for the third time...uuugh. Feeling bad and pretty anemic.  My white cell count is low and the DR just put me on Nupagen injections.  Anybody have experience with Nupagen?  I've had two injections this week and I think I can tell a difference but not sure.

I was also wondering if anyone has noticed that their spouse seems to get sympathy symptoms.  My wife has been tested several times and is NOT positve but I swear she acts like she has the same symptoms.

Last two treatments I did not really talk about with anyone for various reasons but I found this forum and I'm hoping to talk with others who understand what I'm going through.

My hubby has moderate congnitive impairment (not quite Alzheimer's but close) so he really doesn't remember what I tell him from day to day.  Kind of like ground hog day - he thinks I'm telling him about some new side effect from the tx and usually nothing's changed from the day before. He's very sympathetic and always offers to help but I don't think he could have empathy pains for me because he can't remember what they are!! It's kinda of sad but it makes me laugh - I have a good time with it.

I am first time treater, sorryto hear that you are going through this again, but i give you big hi five for not giving up and trying again.  I am not on nuepogen yet, its been discussed every time i go to the doc, so i cant help you with that.

my husband also feels some of things, i do it think its like Gauf says when you are so close to someone they feel it.

Good luck

peace

Thanks, I guess I knew that about the wife.  Just needed to hear it from someone else I guess.

Oh sure, most of us on tox end up on nuepogen. It is a life saver dude. It works fast and you will feel better from it. As far as the wife, well when 2 people are that close things just naturally get shared...ya know?  The two become as one so to speak.
