Friday Harriet received her 1st subcutaneous injection to help stimulate the growth of white blood cells. She will have 6 of these injections over the next couple of weeks, every other day and skipping the weekends.
I looked up the side effects of this medication and unfortunately it has a tendency to irritate Harriet's other problem which is the colitis that was brought on by the lymphoma. It seems like everything has a negative side effect. All you have to do is watch television and as they advertise different medications, the list of side effects are almost worse than having whatever your problem was in the 1st place. So, I don't know. I just know that she needs to get her white blood cell count up so that they will continue to do the chemotherapy.
I hope that you'll be in the house of the Lord this morning to worship the Creator and give thanks for all that he has given to you this day.
Maranatha,
Frank and Harriet
