I have to get ACT-D and I am going tomorrow to get some bw done. Dr. will start ACT-D tomorrow or later on this week. I am not sure how it is going to make me feel afterwards so I may not be around. I have no idea if it is going to make me sick, etc. If I do end up MIA for a little while then I hope when I come back you all get a BFP and that I am the only one here. Will keep you ladies posted. Hopefully it won't make me too sick though. If that is the case I will prob. still be around. At least lurking anyways

Lisa I'm sorry honey, but hopefully you will only need one dose to be over and DONE with this process. Praying for you that this works faster than anticipated... KUP and hoping you don't suffer any ill effects

Quick post ladies b/c I am just drained. It has been a long day. I have to get chemo done every two weeks. I did get a treatment today and they did check my bhcg today too. I believe they said it was 28 which is crazy b/c on
3/29: 45
4/5: 39.74
4/7: 28
That is a pretty big drop in my book! It was a diff. lab though so not sure how much they differ. Mon I am getting my bhcg checked again. I had to take 6 nausea meds. today: 3 diff kinds. Fun fun!!! so far just feeling a little nauseous but not too bad. Just mostly tired.
So I go back on the 21st and will get another treatment. Will meet with dr. after chemo treatment!!! I am really hoping this doesn't cost a fortune. Was told my med today was only going to cost about $5 and it cost $36, That is only for a five day supply too!!! Hopefully I won't need too many of those.
Will post later I am headed to bed! GL everyone and I hope to see a lot of BFP's

Forgot to mention this the ladies there at the treatment center were wonderful. A group of women make blankets for all the new patients so I got a new blanket! I picked the one with flowers and butterflies. Hopefully that will represent a new beginning. I think I should write a thank you not to them don't you ladies? I have not met them but I am sure it would get delivered to them.

Lisa, i think that a thank you card is a great idea. I'm glad to hear that your treatments went well, hopefully you can just have the two and be done with it. So great that you had the big drop before the treatment. so, maybe this is a sign that things will finally swing your way. Keep us posted, I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Lisa, I'm so glad that your numbers are dropping and that you are able to move forward with the chemo and hopefully get to zero and start a new chapter. I hope the treatment isn't too hard on you. Hoping for great numbers from your next bw!

Lisa... HUGS.. I am glad those numbers are looking better and better... I just wish you didn't have to go through the chemo.. as for the blanket.. I think I would have picked out the same one.. for the same reasons. I think the idea of a note is a great one! HUGS...
