Well if I thought 1.2 was bad, 1.1 is even worse. Today was the first time we have seen Dr Maresca since our initial "I'm back" visit. I was excited to see him, I like him and his dry humor. We did joke today which was nice however we decided that I have other things to do with my weekend than to have a stay at vassar. So they gave me a nupagin injection and I will get another one tomorrow and Friday. The injection is to increase my white blood cells so I can receive chemo. I may need to get these injections for the remainder of my treatments. I go back on Monday for a CBC then chemo again on Wed. I thought about changing my day to Monday but then I would never see Dr. M, he is never in that office on Mondays. So I am sticking to Wednesdays.
As for feelings on this, one of the techs asked if I was upset with this or if I was happy to have a week off. I am not happy, I have a deadline and I am now pushed back a week. I did confirm that there is nothing I can do myself to increase my counts, vitamins, blueberries, beef, or even pleading with them, nothing there will help. That is why I am on the injection. I also started my cipro and will be on germ-a-phob overload.
My mom stopped tonight and told me. I'm so sorry. That stinks, but I'm glad they are on top of it. Being pushed back one week is better than a hospital stay.
ReplyDeleteTimmy's concert is on Friday. We will miss you but understand. Hopefully those white blood cells will cooperate!
hey kim - i'll go light a candle for you ... once the white blood cells are better, I'll come for a visit! I have some summer Friday's so maybe that would work! :)
