The Day after the Day before

I know it's kind of corny, but I told you it's hard to think of a new title each morning.  I've done over 130 posts so far.  The beat goes on.  For clarification, Harriet gets a shot every other business day, no shots on the weekend.  We emailed Dr. Chen and asked him if that's really necessary without having a blood test to determine the exact level of the white blood cell count?  He said that the medication that is helping to build up the white blood cell count has a 48 hour fall off time limit.  So for example if she takes two shots this week and no shots next week, it's kind of counterproductive.  That's why they want you to continue taking the shots all the way through until just before the chemotherapy.

That's pretty much it.  We are sure learning a lot more than we ever thought we're going to learn about this type of stuff.  We really do want to thank everybody for the cards and emails of support.  Thank you for your continued prayers.

Maranatha,
Frank and Harriet
