Day 2 after the first chemo infusion

Today is Day 2 after Carlene's first chemo treatment. Yesterday she had the injection of Neulasta, intended to spur the production of white blood cells. When she got the injection, the nurse told Carlene about the possibility of bone pain in the large bones that produce bone marrow. The nurse said the spectrum of pain patients experience is all the way from minimal to such intense pain that Vicodin is required. We have been anxious about this, naturally. This morning the news is good. Carlene has not noticed ANY side effects from the Neulasta injection. She is going to receive an injection the day following each chemo treatment. So we hope this streak continues. Oh, by the way, the nurse told us that each injection costs $6,000!! Incredible. Anthem Blue Cross has become our best friend. Not sure the feeling is mutual though. Thanks so much for your prayers.
