This was long after chemo was over. I had Neupogen shots and the levels came back up to normal.<br /><br />My friend who is a doctor said that it can result from your body developing antibodies because of the antibiotics. She said that the antibodies can destroy residual cancer cells. Theoretically (and only theoretically), this could be extremely helpful in beating this back. Isn't that a weird way to look at it?Joanna Moorehttp://www.lifehasitsupsanddowns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479782985101649883.post-762426937627662022010-06-03T16:25:02.806-06:002010-06-03T16:25:02.806-06:00You are so strong and patient Daria, an extra few ...You are so strong and patient Daria, an extra few days to allow your picc line to heal a bit more.

Did your onc suggest taking Neulasta which builds up the neutrophils (but is very expensive) or are your levels close enough that they can do chemo in a few days?<br />I liked your video clip. Hoping your levels come back soon and the chemo can chase down those cancer cells.Sue in Italia/In the Land Of Cancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146373251097877539noreply@blogger.com
