| Paroled! | Views: 378 |
After many tests and many, many days in the dreaded hospital I have been paroled. I ended up with gram negative rods in my blood, my WBC bottomed out at .7. After many days of neupogen and heavy duty antibiotics I am home. They let me come home Tuesday evening. I had my children shave the rest of my hair off, it was coming out in fist fulls at the hospital. That is a pain in the *@^, the hair gets everywhere, bangs falling into your food while your eating. And it turns out I still have about 50 very stubborn hairs on my head. I have to do 21 days of antibiotics which doesn’t end until after my next Chemo, which I am not looking forward to. I am hoping that because I tried every side effect including the 5 days hospital stay this round of Chemo would be a little easier. When my daughter uploads pics of my “hairdressers” I’ll be sure to add a few.
Blessings to you and yours.

Thanks for your support -
Glad you’re home!
Welcome home. Interested in seeing the new hairdo.
I am glad you are home. I remember how hard it was keeping my WBC up. Just take care of yourself.
My love, thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs,

Dear Angel. You are quie the trooper. I have never had chemno but I know and have witnessed the side effects that it can produce. I hope you make it through without incident. I am curious why they are going this route? I was diagnosed as you were with the exception of the phrase “infiltrated ductal”, of which I don’t know what that means. Perhaps you can describe it to me. The only treatment I have had so far is 26 radiation treatments, daily intake of Arimidex and 4 pills of Clasteon (bisphosphoate) for my bones. Of course the usual many followup CT’s, Bone scans, MRI’s, Mammograms, Ultra sounds you know pretty much all the tests. Maybe it’s because I am in another country and the agressive approach is not that strong. Not sure. I want to ask my Oncologist why you would be getting all these rounds. If you can fill me in I would appreciate that. In the meanime much good luck and hopes that no side effects come in the way. Keep us posted. Weezie
