I had my 13th chemo today and the 10th in a row of the Navelbine. Since I've been tolerating the chemo so well, he has decided to up the dosage from 35 mg's to 40 mg's each week.

My white blood cell count was 4.9 and the red blood cell count was 3.86.

Next week I go on Friday since Thanksgiving is Thursday.

Wow 13 in a row! Thats great! How do you think you'll react to a higher dosage?? Tired,the same,no difference?
Crabs were delicious last night! I was stuffed...I ate 5 jumbos and that bowl of soup..I was ready for bed!
Me and dad went over to the Hideaway Lounge on Middle River Rd. to listen to Country Music. They have a live country band every wednesday & sunday night.They are pretty good!

I don't know how I'll do on the new dosage. Hopefully no different. But I sure was beat when I got home. I HAD to take a nap for a few hours. I fell right to sleep!!

That nerve pain in my foot kept me up most of last night. It moved into my ankle too. When the pain hit it would make my leg jump all over the place. It's hard to sleep like that. The "other" problem is still there also. My doctor gave me another prescription for that.

Yes, those crabs were great. The soup could have been a little less spicey but it was good. I graduated to 4 crabs! The last few times I could only get 3 down.

I thought you guys were going to listen to karioke. Who was the band?
