Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hey all. So yesterday my primary Dr. not Gastero DR. called me early and told me I should come in. She told me that my White Blood Cell count (WBC) is at 113. 500 is critically low. She also is concerned because one of my lymphnodes is swelling. It hurts so terrible the pain killers they have given me for the interferon doesn't take the pain away.
She told me that the only way to know if I have cancer is to take the lymphnode out which is dangerous because that low of platlettes and WBC I could bleed out...
Have you had this trouble with your lymphnodes and how low are some of your WBC?
Thanks!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Now having low WBC is normal on these meds, this is due to the ribavirin, the pills your taking, also having swollen lymph nodes is one of the side effects on these combo meds.
Like not everyone get swollen L.Nodes on tx, but not everyone.
Like I wouldn't stress over it, until you speak with your gi.
Now Monday, get on the phone and give him a call, and please keep us posted.
Now try to relax, it would surprise me big time if it was cancer, like I said, it's normal on these combo meds to have swollen lymph nodes.
ok hun, now Enjoy the balance of your weekend.
Love & Respect,
Mckenzie
One day at the time.
