Sadly no chemo today. They re-took my blood (previously done on Friday) and said it was even lower. So I get a week off and try again next week. I was hoping to at least be able to do a lower dose today. But no suck luck. So rest.
He did say that's why I'm having a hard time shaking the cold though and there's a chance it'll hang on for a while.
But. Even I get chemo 6. I'll get new scans. Because you can't really scan for pancreatic cancer the only thing the scams will tell me is if it has spread. So two weeks after the 6th chemo then I will get new scans which obviously I'm very nervous about. But I guess I would rather know halfway through my chemo versus at the end which is when they thought about doing the scans.
My husband is off this week so by the end of the week we are going to take a couple days away and go camping and just relax. Who knows maybe the camping will be just what I need.
Did you hear the health professionals Sassy? REST & RELAXATION!!! You're to sit or lay still and do nothing except pick grapes (numbers permitting, I know!) from a bunch whilst your husband fans you with a giant leaf.... Sorry, Cleopatra was on the TV today, I think I got mixed up... I hope the camping lets you recharge a little bit.
Take it steady and hopefully your white cells start to recover. You've been sick far too long and it's time it got the hint and fucked right off.
You're doing brilliantly, my friend.
