Last Tuesday I went in to have blood work and get treatment. Unfortunately, my ANC (white cells) were far too low. I had to get a Neupogen shot in clinic and give myself a couple of Neupogen shots at home after that to boost my immune system. I went back in on Friday and got the all clear to get my second dose of Eribulin. The good news is that those LFTs seem to be trending downward.
Second dose went well, it’s a super quick IV injection, so I was only at DFCI for 3ish hours start to finish. Side effects really hit me on Sunday. I experienced intense fatigue, off and on body aches or headaches, digestive slowness/sluggishness, emotional swings, and some neuropathy.
This week is my week off, and I am feeling a little better today than I was yesterday, and definitely better today than I was on Sunday.
Thank you for the cards, texts, and messages of support! -XO
