Nine is a Lucky Number

Round Nine of chemo today 06/24/08

  • Gina had #9 of Taxotere, Carboplatem and Herceptin
  • Also had Procrit so could have Herceptin
  • Shot tomorrow at Dr Sipahi
  • Scans set for 07/04 weekend then off to UCMC on 07/07 to see Dr Olpade to see what's next since not likely will keep having same chemo

Thanks for all for the support and PRAYERS! they definitely work.

Hi guys!!

Been a little tired, resting a lot - the kids are all great at giving me a hand...Bob is a big help too! had some blood work done today at Dr. Sipahi's office, very low white blood cell count, my red blood cell count is also low. Sooo just trying to stay away from anyone sick because of the white count, and trying to eat a lot of dark green vegetables to get the red count up. Bob will post about the scans tonight, but just a quick pre-view - everything looks VERY good - the best report I have gotten so far. The sad news is that they are keeping me on the same chemo drugs for another 2 rounds (that is 6 weeks)..so I stay bald longer :) but I can deal with being bald as long as I'm getting better.

On another note: There is a little 8 year old girl by the name of Bailey (NOT MY BAILEY) who could use some prayers, she too is fighting, so if you can remember one more in your prayers that would be great. I know she has been in ours...

Love is being sent your way!!
