Update bloodwork I have to say besides the side effects with these target therapy pills it’s really shown a miracle my white blood count was 230,000 then it went down to 115,000 now it’s 55,000 my hemoglobin is 10.2 lymphocytes 20,000 are now 52,081 this pill is truly a miracle cancer sucks but IWill not let it define who I am I know I have to take this for the rest of my life but the alternative would be worse..

Thank you Lord

Hi Littledab, wow, what a way to start 2020. I have found I have a delayed action emotionally and physically after an event and you have been through a lot. You also mention the side effects. Lastly, I have found emotions and thoughts whizzing around me are often not logical. If you would like to talk to someone the Leukaemia Care Charity helpline is open Monday - Friday 9am until 5pm and they have a special evening service on a Thursday and Friday 7pm - 10pm. The number is freephone 08088 010 444. So please do look after yourself at a time when perhaps people around you expect you to be back to their normal. Keep posting we are here to support you.
