All the pain, but none of the fun though. Lots of throbbing but no pleasure. I'm sure you girls have probably said that a few times over the years, and it is probably like meat and two veg to you all, but I'm really worried that when I go for my line care on my expertly fitted Central Line on Wednesday, the nurses are going to ask me to PUSH!
It is the dreaded G-CSE....ERM..... G-CSF sorry, (although to want it, you do need your head EXAMINING.) On Sunday I started the 4-a-day injections of Neupogen that will hopefully encourage the birth of 6 million or so baby stem cells that will be used to reboot me after the mustard gas attack planned at Cancer Operational Headquarters, QE., Birmingham on December 6th.
The pain of this war on Myeloma has really come to the fore this week. My bones are throbbin in time to my heartbeat," BOOM BOOM shake ya bones" for those who teen'd in the 70's. Child of the 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's and naughties is what I am. Lorna says I've never grown up. I reckon those stem cells will be more responsible than me, given a week or two. I'm halfway through my course of injections so there will soon be an extra shelf in the fridge again for the cheese to mature on. Lorna wanted it for wine, but I've told her there is more than enough whinin already.

Holy merde. I've heard about that neupogen pain.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is, everyone I have known who had considerable pain, collected tons of stem cells very quickly. Tim only had a mild ache in his sternum and it took 5 full days on the aphoresis machine to get 11+ million cells.
With the kind of pain you're having, you'll probably be a "stem cell stud." Best wishes from soggy New Jersey.
What's all the fuss about? Lorna's produced umpteen kids - what's a few million stem cells. No, that sounds really good - I had not even a stem cell production related twinge this time last year and funnily enough produced zip! I had some with the Plerixafor but a mild 500/8! pill sorted it out! Come on you stem cells!
