My normal day to have chemo is on tuesdays. However, I was told I wouldn't be having chemo yesterday because my white blood cells were to low - I had to have a blood transfusion last wednesday because my red blood cells were to low. Instead of the chemo I got a shot and will get another one today and possibly thursday. My question is this: the oncologist nurse said they were adding avastin to the mix(I get cisplatin with alimta every 3rd wk). Is this normal after 7 weeks of chemo to add something even though I haven't had a ct? I will find out more today but wondered if anyone out there can give me a heads up as to why the addition of this drug. Thank you all for your help and blessings to all. Dorothy
