Once again, God came through for us! On Friday morning, my white cell count was .63. It needed to come up to 1.5 in order for Chemo #4 to happen. They tested me this morning around 8:30. At 9:30 I went back into the unit, and the resource nurse showed me my results: 7.48. I couldn't believe it! How was that possible? Are you talking about me! Amazing – great rejoicing going on in the unit. So after a bit of time, nurse Barbara injected the new drug. They had to reduce it to 75% dosage because of my liver function blood test. I did not have an allergic reaction, and after 100 mls of saline, I was able to go home. Doug and I went to the grocery store for a few items and I made some lunch. My stomach hurts and I'm a bit tired. I must go rest for awhile.
Thank you for all your prayers. I KNOW that it is because of those prayers that we had such AMAZING results today. Continue to pray that the side effects they tell me about will not happen (neuropathy, more hair loss, fingernails and toenails disappearing or chipping, etc.). We believe in the power of prayer.
Love you all….deb

God is good! So glad you were able to get round #4 and no reaction. I'm praying for no side effects too.
PS - beautiful quilt!
Yippeee!
This can only be described as miraculous! Thank you God for hearing our hearts.
I just wanted to add that I had to look up what neuropathy meant, and though I still don't totally understand it, it doesn't sound pleasant at all! I prayed right after I found the definition that that just wouldn't happen to you!
