Welcome

Hi Girls,

Sounds like some of us are tripping around all over the place. Just had a weekend in Tassie with my husband, brother and his partner. I haven't spent a lot of time with bro during the first half of my life. He's 10 years older, and his first wife wasn't very family friendly. They broke up about 4-5 years ago, and I'm closer to each of them now, than I was when they were married!! Try figuring that one out!

Any hoo Tassie wasn't too cold and not wet ( a blessing). Main reason for going was to see the new Mona (Museum of Old and New Art) art gallery in North hobart on the river. If you don't know about it, it is a privately funded gallery and cost $175 million and contains the private collection of its philanthropist  owner David Walsh. Fantastic exhibition, and free (they don't even ask for a contribution)  - I highly recomend it if you're down that way. Be warned though, there is a lot of confronting and explicit material, and give yourself plenty of time if you want to soak it up and reflect.

I've had 'the cough' since AC treatment, and was told it would probably eventually go away. Nothing seems to be certain or known when I ask questions. And yes, I've changed from hankies to tissues because when I blow my nose its mainly blood. I figured it was still the mucous membranes thinned out from the treatment. apparently the cells in those areas grow 3 times faster so they get knocked around by the drugs.

My neutrophils were down a bit last week, so had to go home with the injection to use the following day. I was disappointed, and no one seemed to be a ble to tell me if this was going to continue to get worse, or could just go up and down. The nurses are very helpful, but sometimes I find it hard to get the answers I'm looking for. Has anyone else had to miss treatments for this reason, or use the injection again?
