Here's that latest update. I went for chemo yesterday and after checking my blood they found "something funky" said the lab lady. The Dr in the office wanted to look at it on a slide. After reviewing everything a call was made to my Oncologist to discuss a course of treatment because again my numbers were too low. One of the counts were up but the other were not. They decided to go ahead with treatment (I guess the funky thing was nothing???) and add Neulasta to my treatment so we can hopefully have no more delays in my treatments. It is a shot that I will receive when I get my pump disconnected. After checking out the website on the shot and talking to others that have had it the main complaint is pain in your joints (all of them!). Some info I got off the Internet about low white blood counts is...the fewer number of white blood cells you have and the longer you remain without enough, the more at risk you become for developing a potentially life-threatening infection, potentially resulting in hospitalization and administration of IV antibiotic therapy. I pray that I will not experience the joint pain and all will go well with my next 5 treatments. We have scheduled a little family camping trip next week and the kids are so excited. With everything that has gone on this year we have not really done or gone anywhere. Jim is on vacation for three week starting next week. That was the time we were supposed to go to California but after receiving the big C news we had to cancel the trip. Hopefully next year we can go see all the sites of my home state with the kids. I have not been back since Kelly who just turned 13 was 6 months old. Wow, how time flys! Please continue to pray for our family during this time and also for our finances due to the rentals being unrented. We are praying for a mighty miracle from God by the end of the month. We got word that one of them maybe rented so we will see if that pans out. Much love, Melissa
