Amazing how incredible something like an 11.7 can feel isn't it? LOL and people worry about taking Procrit, it's so hard to say oh boy you just don't know what it can do for you!

Have a great time in Florida - lucky - my idea of vacation is sitting in front of the tube at night doing nothing!  ;)

That's great news.  Hgb 11.7 is pretty impressive.  Don't you love being able to breathe again?!  

Have a great vacation and get lots of rest.  Wishing you an easy final 13 weeks.
