This is a drug that you get when you have to get chemotherapy. This is a special type of antibody used to treat cancer. This drug is given intravenously. For a few months after receiving this drug, bone marrow depression may occur. This is a decrease in the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may increase your risk of infection, fatigue, and bleeding.

I am taking alot of vitamins and grape seed, fish oils, and vitamin E, and alot of antioxidants, but I do have jacob to worry about and the doctor says if I go thru this he dose believe I will be in remission then so I quess I am going to give it a try. Thens so much for your prayers and happy thoughts I think my biggest worry is losing my hair I just dont want to be bald. So pray I keep my hair. Talk more latter. Debby
well i have had a few friends with the same problem...losing their hair...but got through it fine...however is not easy and without adult support may be more difficult. wish I was there for that..God Bless G-Ma :o) hugs
Well my sis is here and she is a lot of help and support she is going with me for my first day of chemo dont know what i would do without her sometimes. And the guy I am dating is being really sweet about it all so that helps but I still am so scared of losing my hair I think if I didnt have to work it might not be so bad. Thanks so much for talking to me it dose help alot.
