Yesterday was my 13 dose of chemo. The issue is that my blood counts are not so great. Although I get the growth factor shot every time, my blood counts are trending downward. The options are to adjust the chemo. I could take a reduction in drugs every 4 weeks or spread out the drugs to every 5 weeks. The shocking news to me was that at some point my little body will not be able to take any more chemo. It does permanent damage to my bone marrow and it will stop producing what I need.
Never fear there are alternatives. I have some friends that are using a different path and they have shared the contact info of the doctor they are using. I will investigate this and count it as a huge blessing.
