Onward & Upward
Hello Ed,
The second day of Vidaza was good. I didn't have the slight headache I experienced the first day. Still no nausea. I get an injection of Zofran before each dose of Vidaza. It seems to be working. I also have Zofran in pill form at home in case I need it.
My doc is concerned about my low WBC so prescribed Neulasta. This is a drug I get at the Infusion Center intended to increase my White Blood Count. Not sure how often I will be getting it. So far I got a dose on Monday and the next dose will next Wednesday. The side effects are sore joints and a few other minor things. If it decreases my chances of getting infected, it will be worth it.
My main concern at this point is having to avoid crowds. I want to go to church but we are a "hand shaking" people so I might have to avoid certain meetings for a while. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I find a lot of comfort in having the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.
Have a good day.
Jerry
