I had even more reactions to the 3 neumega plattlet booster shots last
night. Altogether I've experienced bad headache, severe fatigue, bad
bone & joint pain, increased heart rate (over 100), fluid retention in
my abdomin (gained about 6-7 pounds since monday). Now last night my
upper body (chest, back shoulders) turned red like a sunburn. Today I'm
very unstable on my feet and have diahrea. My Onc. was as usual not in
today. Her fill in opted to not give me the shots today and over the
weekend as scheduled for fear of more severe side effects. So I'll have
to fuss with my onc next week over this. She wanted me to take the shots
until plattlets hit 100 so she could give me mre chemo asap before the
CEA started going nuts again. If I cannot take the neumega I don't see
how I can continue chemo with bone marrow (plattlet & white cell)
issues. I guess it doesn't matter, they wrote me off as dead already
the day I stepped into their office, just a question of how long and
much chemo they can shove in me to bill the ins. company for before I
keel over, they'll prolly squeeze a bag or two in me after I croak. All
she's been saying since day one is no hope of cure or remission just a
question of when and her opinion of when keeps changing. I don't even
want to talk to her anymore unless I have no choice cause I'm sick of
hearing it. I'm afraid I'm going to start beleiving her and lose my
faith & hope.

kill yourself with chemo or aim for quality of life.
That's your choices.
