 Hi Stacy, I visited with my friend this evening and asked the name of her chemo. She gets two--Carboplatin and Taxotere. After two more treatments I believe that she will be taking a pill a day---Tarceva. It is a new pill and very pricey. She is getting it somehow through her doctor at no cost. At least she has been approved for it. I am not sure if or when she will start it.

I hope that your numbers will be up tomorrow so that you can have your treatment. Love and prayers, Bonnie

Hi Bonnie. I was able to get my 4the chemo today. My doctor was also happy to see improvement with the trouble around my port-a-cath. My white blood cell count was 4.7. The lowest number in the "normal" range is 4.8 so that was good.

I've never been on carboplatin but I have heard of it. It's one of my future choices. But I have been on Taxotere. Taxotere can be hard on you, I had quite a few problems with it. I was glad to get off of it.

Your friend is so blessed to be able to get her prescription for free. That stuff is so expensive.

Thank you so much for your prayers. I keep you all in my prayers as well.

Hi Stacy! Good to hear that you're "drinking" again! ;) Hopefully that initial white cell reduction from the Navelbine is over, and your count will stay up where it should be. How are you feeling this week? Ready for another round?

I imagine if my counts look good, I'm as ready as ever.

Well, have a shot of Navelbine for me, since I won't be there with you. (I have no idea why I'd WANT navelbine, but what the heck...)

You asked why you'd take Navelbine, well unless you have cancer, the only benefit I find to taking it is losing weight! You lose your appetite silly!
