Journal entry by Suzie Haslinger

In order to keep ppl up to date,  because chemo has proven to cause dangerous complications. The first infusion landed me in the hospital for a week thru the ER.  I had a condition called Febrile Nuetropenia; meaning my immune cells were so decimated my body lost its stasis.  

They ended up having to give me a couple shots of Neulasta to spark my bone marrow to create white blood cells.  Thank God it worked,  and I got home from the hospital just in time to have my second chemo infusion.  

With this infusion, they gave me a Neulasta shot,  yay!  These shots cost - sit down - $6,000+ each.  Can you even believe this?  However,  I am grateful for it.  It hurts a great deal but I’ve now gotten pain medication to counteract that bone pain.  

I take me tempurature all day and night to catch another immune cell collapse.  That’s my current holding pattern. 

Another chemo infusion due in a couple weeks.  I’ll keep this updated.  

Thanks for good wishes and energy!!!
