Update Friday 20th, 2012 - Retry

It was brought to my attention today that I didn't post yesterday . . .  But I did.  I guess I did something wrong.  Not to hard to believe if you know how tech challenged I am.  So here we go again.

My friend Evie went with me again.  Loves to her for spending her day off with me . . .  again.

My platelets went up from 33 to 34.  Not much of a gain, but better than going the other way.  My RBC's are still dropping, but not to the cut off that I need a transfusion.  My hemoglobin came up significantly, so the b12 shot, iron supplements and the folic acid every day - are doing their job.

I've been very very very very tired this past week, along with very weak.  Doc says could be chemo related or else having to do with vitamin b stuff, or  because I'm two days away from steroid free.  We don't know.  Doesn't really matter why, it just is.  But I get a week off of chemo next week.  Don't know that I like that, because every week of missed chemo is a a week that the breast cancer can do what it wants.  I guess I have to trust the doc that I need a week off.  Also got my Xegva shot this week.  Hoping that I don't experience the pain that I have in the past from it. 

Normally the day of chemo and the day after - I feel fairly well.  Not so this time.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  Keep our fingers crossed and say our prayers. 

Thanks to everyone for their messages, thoughts, and prayers.  I couldn't make it without all of you.

Love, Heather
