    Neil:

    Thank you for your gracious message. I have been on procrit and it has helped. I feel quite well, except for fatigue around 4 PM and then I rest aftr work. I am well able to keep up my counseling routine and look forward to going to work. So, I see no need to restict what makes me feel good. Seeing your age encouraged me because I see that I have some good years ahead of me. Iwill talk to the Dr. about the medication you mentioned. By problem now is that my Hemotologist/Oncologist has closed his practice to take a position at a local Medical School. His replacement is an Oncologist, but not a Hemo. So I am now in he position of considering numerous consultation appointments if I want to find another care provider. That has simply added to my frustration. But, I do feel better after you response and appreciate the time you took to write.

    Sincerely,

    Russ
