    • About Me

      My sister has Hep C, trying so much to do all i can for her. I'm trying to get a computer for her so she can talk to all these people. Half her liver is gone, she starts the med in August. I live 4 hours away, work side jobs like family helper and such since i broke my back and can not keep working 40 hour weeks. I have two grown beautiful children and love Sai Baba.

      I got side tracked with phenmonia for the last week or so, but made great progress before that. I have run into a few snags, but really these big companies cant wait to give me the money, I have promises for 50K, 100K and a few 10Ks so far, I just have to get some paperwork filed and bank accounts and trusts set up. I am happy to share my progress, I will send my ph # in aprivate message,

      From quasar November 16

      hi kathi, i had to take a procrit shot once a week for the last 5 months of treatment because my red blood count was extremely low. it faciltates the bone marrow to make the rbc's. that's about all i know about it. check your sisters pulse. my pulse is normally around 76 or so but when my red blood count went low my pulse went up to 125 and i was EXTREMELY out of breath. you need to ask the doctor about this. the neupogen is what boosts up the white blood cells and i was on that weekly too.
