The good news is i have another full week to rest up!
When they ran my labs this morning, almost all my numbers were good. Except one – my ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) dropped more, so i couldn’t do chemo today. It has been pushed back, a week and the overall schedule has changed. ANC has to do with white blood cells, so i am supposed to be careful when going out, keep the hand sanitizer, and wearing a mask in areas where there are large crowds. So if i use sanitizer after shaking your hand, don’t take it personally!
This week i got fluids and meds. i will get chemo next week, along with a possible additional meds. The schedule is changed to this: instead of getting chemo 2 weeks in a row, and one week off, it will now be every other week. Between doses, if needed, i will be given fluids and meds. i don’t know how this will affect the overall timing of the treatment, but that part is all flexible.
Right now i’m feeling really good, and glad to have another week to continue building back up. Everything else looked good, and there is a chance that the tumor is already responding to the chemo. All Praise to God!
