*sigh* finally prescribed Procrit

that makes 3 self injections per week including the Intereferon.   i've been on Neupogen shots since 4th wk and hepa just called prescribed Procit shots for anemia now that it's finally tanked below 10.  on top of that, i also have to get weekly lab works.  still have to deal with being full time student, 2 family members in the hospital, losing hair like crazy and whatever else i can't remember anymore.  what am i turning into?  how bittersweet everything has been.

32/48 wks

Hang in there Lal, such is life on treatment.  32/48... you're on the downside.  Another shot s-u-c-k-s but you'll feel better for it.  

You can do this.  Look what you've accomplished so far!!  Everything life and tx has thrown at you and you've dealt with.  You've shown tremendous determination and keep pushing forward despite the odds.  One more shot isn't going to hold you back, on the contrary, it's going to help.  You're a strong girl even though you don't want to be.  We all see that in you Lal.  

Keep going - willpower can move mountains!!

Be well,
Trin
