I am holding my virtual breath until this fever siege is over. I can remember lying in the hospital with 200 neutrophils and a headache from fever. The doctor said “well, 2 days on IV antibiotic and some increase in neutrophils, you should be OK”. But there was a small voice in my head saying “Now what if the neutrophils do not increase?” Obviously things did work out for me but it is very threatening, common as it may be.

Hugs,
Diane

When we don’t get a new update for several days, I get worried about Harvey! Hopefully this means you’re busy getting back to the apartment. Anyway, my best to you both.

I was away for the weekend so I have not had a chance to check in on “Harvey”. My best wishes and thoughts are with you and “Harvey”

I’m sure you know that there is an enormous flow of positive energy waves coming from all directions which is surrounding both you and “Harvey”. May they help sustain and strengthen you both and guide him back to good health. Thank you so very much for sharing your experience and knowledge with all of us.
Namaste, Kathryn

Harvey already has the first and with a little more luck, he will soon have the second. Fingers crossed. Lisa

We are facing an allogenic transplant as soon as my husband’s CLL/Lymphoma is under control. He has been through FCR, R-Chop and now R-ESHAP, it has been discouraging but we are encouraged through other’s success stories.
God bless you all and thank you

Chaya in one of your post you explained about using the Heparin to flush Harvey’s catheter. I’ve heard there have been some problems with Heparin from China being made for Baxtar and has been showing up in the US medical system. Are you and the hospital been aware this issue? http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/569325

Please tell Harvey he and you are in our prayers!

Love

Norm and Irene

This is a good thing and will lead to the best possible outcome. My love to all.
