Chemo. Round 2. Delayed.
So, apparently I was a bit stressed when I woke up this morning, even though I didn’t think I was.
We left home at little after 7, arriving for my 7:20 labs and port access.
Everything was on schedule and going just fine.
My watch even told me my stress was low as I waited to see the oncology team.
And then the lab results came in. I was “practically perfect in every way” except in the ways that really mattered - my WBC, ANC, and my platelet count.
My ANC was too low for chemotherapy to be safely administered today, so we will take a week off and try again next Monday. This will change my entire schedule moving forward - pushing everything back by at least one week. Though not entirely unexpected over the course of the entire treatment, it was a bit surprising because I have only completed one round of chemotherapy.
Though disappointed, I am sure you can tell by these photos that spending a couple of hours with these ladies wasn’t such a bad thing.
Now to figure out what to do with this unexpected free day!
Thanks to all of you who reached out yesterday and today reminding me that you were praying for me. Please pray that when we redo my labs on Friday we will be good to go for Round 2 next Monday - April 13.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God.”
