By: ScrapHappyGabi Date: January 25, 2014, 5:39 am --------------------------------------------------------- It's my bday weekend too Resa! When's your bday? Mine is the 26th :) Happy BIRTHDAY!!! Friday for me is always "Infusion Friday" - I drive to Philly and get my chemo. This week was a mild week - next week is my "BIG" Chemo week... and after that I go once more for BIG chemo on Feb 21 then I am DONE with the big ones and only have little ones for another year. I canot wait until the big ones are behind me. The give the WORST side effects UGH!! I am usually out of commission for a week and 1/2 after each big one. Yesterday was weird. I had to have a blood transfusion. I am completely weirded out by this.... Humbled, grateful, extremely grateful and VERY weirded out!! I have the heebie-jeebies even!! Has anyone here ever had a blood transfusion? It doesn't come without mixed emotions, I'm sure!!! Have a great, scrappy, creative WEEKEND!! #Post#: 30289-------------------------------------------------- Re: Friday's Dude It's COLD Out There Report. By: Resa Date: January 25, 2014, 9:02 am --------------------------------------------------------- Gabi, Happy Birthday to you too. Mine was on the 24th. My dad went through some rather aggressive chemo about two years ago. he had a pre-leukemia condition that required chemo and eventually a bone marrow transplant. while he is 99.9 percent recovered now, he still has to go in for blood transfusions whenever his numbers are low. It creeped him out the first few times he had it done as well, but knew it was for his own good. Hang in there kiddo. You'll do great!! ;) #Post#: 30291-------------------------------------------------- Re: Friday's Dude It's COLD Out There Report. By: SherrieScraps Date: January 25, 2014, 2:44 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Gabi, my DH had to have a blood transfusion while he was taking chemo for pancreatic cancer. It was scary. I remember going with him for the chemo treatment and them telling us he could not have it because his white blood cell counts were too low. The transfusion itself was not a big deal, but the fact that the chemo was "hurting" in addition to "helping" was scary to me. I remember him trying to schedule his chemo for Thursdays, because he always felt okay on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday/Sunday, he mostly laid around and tried to sleep off the effects. Hugs to you as you handle this journey. I know you will be glad when you're done with the chemo! #Post#: 30324-------------------------------------------------- Re: Friday's Dude It's COLD Out There Report. By: ScrapHappyGabi Date: January 27, 2014, 1:05 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thank you SO MUCH Resa and Sherri!!!! BIG BIG BIG BIG HUGS!!! It's always nice to know that someone out there 'gets it' - Cancer is a nasty beast and sadly almost every single person in their lifetime will know someone who has had it . Thankfully in this day and age there is a lot more early detection which gives us a HUGE chance to get through it and get RID OF IT permanently! :) Thank YOU BOTH for sharing your stories with me - means more than you know!! xx *****************************************************
