Hanging In There

I haven't posted in a while, its been quite a roller coaster these last few months, the Vidaza quit working in June, I am now on Dacogen, four days a week, This month my counts have came up. I am tolerating it well, although I was hospitalized twice in September and given 2 units of blood each time. I had contracted strep when my husband was in the hospital and feel like that was a lot of my problems. This month I finally feel good. In July, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he had the whipple surgery, came through that just fine. He is taking chemo one day a week, after chemo, he will do radiation and then chemo again. They are working with us so we can come at the same time. He was fortunate to be in the 15% that could have the surgery. We have come to terms with it (after the initial shock) all and just live one day at a time. From July to 1st of October was really rough. I guess I just wanted to vent. Thanks for listening to me.
