I was disappointed to receive a phone call from the chemo clinic yesterday, cancelling my chemo session today due to very low neutrophils. They were supposed to ring today with a new appointment for next week but no word yet. I know this is a common reason why treatment is delayed but it was the last chemo in cycle 2 and it was supposed to be done and dusted with a break to look forward to next week and then a consultant appointment and on with cycle 3. I think when you look at your chemo schedule written down you place a lot of importance on every session going to plan because so much rests on the outcome. However, life doesn't go to plan, as we all know, but a glitch in the treatment , however small, produces a stronger reaction, purely because cancer is an emotional rollercoaster.
I am a positive person but as I have said to others, come on here and have a moan because people will understand and it will make you feel better. So this is a small moan and now, onwards and upwards! I will look forward to all the family coming at the weekend for my birthday. It will be so lovely to see everyone and I feel better just thinking about it.
Take care and feel well everyone,
Lots of love,
