Keep your head up, Bret.

You kicked CANCER'S ass. You can beat whatever is weighing you down.

Do we have to get a caravan headed down there??

Will do.

As many of you know, my friend Julie has been doing chemo for several months now, and she started radiation therapy today.

One of the things that affects energy as you battle cancer is your level of "h&h, " or hemoglobin and hematocrit. When this gets low, you feel like your a$$ has been kicked.

Because of this, every so often, Julie goes in and gets a "fill up," with two units of packed cells.

After she gets them, she has so much energy I can't get her to shut up.

Oh, she does read these posts!

So, Bret, I recommend you get with your doc and ask if they can check your h&h. It can't hurt, and from what I see from Julie, it certainly can help.
