Douglas,
Let us know how transfusion goes?

 transfusion today, one unit. Can't believe it took almost 3 hours to get in me. Dr. said tomorrow I should start feeling better.

I am still really really wore out tonite.

 Hey Douglas.. I had 2 Units.. I did not feel like jumping rope but the color did come back into my face, I was as white as a ghost. and weak,  it took about a week for me to feel a tad better.. but I was still on the Incevick.. all the best MJ

 Thanks MJ

My birthday today and was hoping I would feel like going/doing something today, maybe start with church ths morning.

And yes, my friends are telling me color is back in my face.

Hi MJ and JoAnne, the normal range for platelets is 150- 400. Mine were 220 before Rx. I'll start worrying if they drop to <25. Then I'll consider a bag of blood!smile

 I hope you're still hanging.. I know you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.. all the best MJ

I got 2 units of blood on Friday and started on weekly Procrit shots now and blood draws. H/H was 8/27. Cut back on the Rib to 800mg. 10 weeks into treatment. Feel like crap and still working full time as a nurse.

Thanks for everyones kind words of support.

With my counts the way they are and how I feel, I can only imagine what some are going

through with lower counts. Just hang in there as it does get better.

My Dr. is setting up a transfusion for me, hoping to get some kind of temp relief.

Again, thanks everyone for your kind words.
