Well, the lab results came in, and I am not getting my second chemotherapy treatment today. I am now on an antibiotic for 5 days to try to aid my immune system in boosting my white blood cell count and my neutrophils (I am currently what they call neutropenic). My next chemotherapy appointment is scheduled for Wednesday, September 27. Although I want to get finished with treatment as soon as possible and get this cancer out of my body, I am rather happy I didn't have chemo this week. As I said in an earlier post, this weekend is the opening of Muzzleloading season, and I am so ready to shoot a monster buck! I will probably end up shooting a doe or two as well (the limit is two does and one buck), as we need some deer meat.
The bad part about postponing my treatment is that I am now right on schedule for treatment the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas...I guess a person can't have everything...oh well! I'm actually not sure if the labs are open to give treatment on these weeks...you would think even oncologists get to enjoy the holidays...
