We saw the Hematologist today for a follow-up from the Neupogen shot on the 15th. Mike took Brooke to do bloodwork on Monday so Dr. Curry would have the results for today's visit. Ugh! Double Ugh!!! The neutrophil levels are only slightly up. From 0.2 to 0.4, which is nowhere near normal. Guess this is all the $3,000 shot can do. Not very impressive. The other blood results looked about as dim. So...she got another Neupogen shot today and will take them monthly from this point forward to see if we can get her white blood count to come up. That would be nice!! Please pray for no side effects with this shot.
I walked out the door of the cancer center after Brooke's appointment and broke out in tears. It is so frustrating not to be able to help even when you know you're doing everything you can to try to make it better. It's hard to accept that sometimes there isn't anything at all you can do. Very frustrating!
I talked to Denver today and the insurance issues are trying to be dealt with at this point. Pray for resolution and a quick "ok" so we can go and get the visit done and over with. I'm ready to get these things underway so we can get closer to possibly having an answer. Wouldn't that be nice!!
Thank you for your prayers. Please keep them coming our way.
