My Dear Friends,

I've been worrying about the blood test for liver enzymes for a month.

On a friend's advice, I did call my second opinion guy. Spoke to his physician's assistant. She said they don't worry about the alkaline phosphatase until it reaches 200. It was 132. She said it picks up any activity in the bones.

I thought about what I'd changed since a few months ago when it began slowly creeping up. I had been taking my Neupogen shots for white blood cells on Thurs and Saturday instead of Wednesday & Friday. Before my test last week, I made sure to take them on Weds & Fri.

Yesterday, I got last week's results: I scored 117, so it went down. The LD, whatever that is, went up 10 points but the nurse said that could be from environmental factors.

I'm trying to relax now.

Had a couple craft shows lately but didn't do as well as last year due to the economy.

Kinda tired today. Had chemo yesterday.

Thank you for your continued prayers and words of support.

Love,
Jeanette
