9-18 and 9/19 2010

Yesterday was two shots of the Neupogen, one shot to each arm.  They said it was a pretty high dose, thus two separate shots to break it up.  They changed the dressing on where the port was placed, took some blood for CBC check and off I went.  Returning today the blood work shows my growth from 6.4 to 14.3, that in thousands she said, but they need 2 million cells by Tuesday.  Two more shots, more blood work and that was that.  Got some pretty bad headaches today.  The nurse said probably as your sinus cavity is usually empty and its now filling up with cells.  Some people have told her they have taken sinus meds to relieve this pressure.  Apparently tomorrow I will receive two more Nuepogen shots and have to wait until after 5 pm for the Mozobil, which apparently will shot those cells into high grow as they will do the collection on Tuesday morning and don't allow the shots until after 5 the day before.  So, tomorrow evening could be interesting.  Will supply pictures if I happen to have cells oozing out from anywhere!  Otherwise, all is well so far so good.
