will the chemo go ahead
Well I managed to make an appointment for bloods at the surgery this time. I wish I hadn't! I went on Monday morning and then had a phone call from the gp to suggest that I probably wouldn't have chemo this week as my white blood count is so low. So there you go that meant I didn't sleep too well. We saw Mo when we went to clinic for pre assessment on Tuesday morning, she chatted away to us without any hint that anything was wrong. So I told her about my phone call. She suggested that gps don't see blood counts that low very often, and that although my bloods are low, so they will retest on Thursday, she thinks it is on its way back up and hopefully we will be able to go ahead. I have been feeling much better this time, no ulcers and only a couple of days of excema. The gp has also signed me off for another two months. I am hoping to review that though, on something called sheltered hours, reduced hours to get back into it gradually. If we don't go ahead this treatment until next week it puts all my plans back. We have Dara O'Briain to look forward to which as it stands at the moment we are going in the second week after treatment which is best. Also it is the naming ceremony next Saturday and I would prefer to be a whole week after treatment rather than a couple of days. So fingers crossed for tomorrow, I will wish on a star tonight, keep your fingers crossed for me.
