On Tuesday I was due to have my fourth cycle of chemotherapy. Unfortunately my blood count was too low again and it has been postponed (White Blood Count, Neutrophils and Platelets all low this time).
I was going to be delayed one week, but asked if I could put it off two weeks. It is P's birthday party on the 16th April and I really didn't want to be at the lowest part of the cycle for that. Also, she has her ballet school show coming up. Again, a delay of two weeks suits much better as the week of the show should be a good week for me at the end of this forthcoming cycle.
I don't feel unwell, and made it to ballet myself for a demanding class yesterday. Hopefully by having a couple of weeks off the drugs my blood count will come up even more and the chances of further delays will decrease. The doctor wasn't particularly keen for me to delay an extra week but could tell that it was what I really wanted.
Must get off to bed for an early-ish night now. In-laws are visiting for the weekend so need to make sure the place is respectable tomorrow! x
