Halfway Mark

Well today was a bit disappointing.

I received a call at 7:30 am telling me my white blood cells and neutrophils were too low to proceed with chemotherapy today!!!!!  Noooooooo........I was looking forward to getting this one over and done with!  (No wonder I've been so tired though).

Well that doesn't fit within my schedule!  I have appointments for work booked on my return, Mum has flown down for the exact time between chemo and when I start feeling well again plus I dont want the cycles messed up because we've booked a quick trip to Port Douglas in October. Luckily, I booked it for the second week I'm well, leaving 1 week's leeway for this circumstance.  After having cancelled our trip overseas I'm not sure that our travel insurance will be so helpful a second time with an existing condition.

Anyway I convinced them to reschedule to Friday, all going well instead of a week away.  It means 'The V' have to do a little more juggling than normal - oh well, if I'm going to be inconvenienced by the C then it can be on my terms!! (a bit of tough talk there :) )

I have been sent my appointment letters for my MRI and the Breast Surgeon in September. This will tell us how the Chemo is working on the tumours (Fat F*&^ and his friends). They are hoping that some have gone altogether or at least reduced but the softening of the density of the breasts is a good sign.

It will also provide information as to whether the schedule will change to surgery then more chemo or stick with the current plan of the second chemo drug cycle then surgery.

Now just waiting for Friday!
