Update 3/21/2013

Well it's been a week since Mom had her first chemotherapy.  The day after her chemo she had to take a Neulasta shot to boost her white blood cells because if her count is low when it comes time for her next chemo treatment, she will have to wait, which will extend her treatment schedule.  The Neulasta shot causes her extreme pain in her bones from head to toe which usually keeps her in bed for 3 to 4 days.  Please know that she may not be accessible for several days after this shot due to the pain and trying to rest.  Thanks for your understanding .  She talks on the phone and emails as she has the energy.  Please know how much she appreciates your calls, notes of encouragement, and emails so please don't stop.  Also Dr. Roy said that if her white blood count was really high when she goes for her next chemo, that they might be able skip the Neulasta shot, so now that you guys know how to pray......Get to it!  Thanks and will post as we get more news.
