Bad News

Well I just got the call saying chemo is off.  The pharmacist refused to mix my medicines because of how low my platelets, red and white blood counts are.  I'm frustrated.  It takes me a day to mentally prepare for these infusions and to not be able to have it is depressing.  

They suggest resting and eating healthy between now and next Thursday.  Ironically that is all I do these days and it doesn't seem to be helping.  

Now I wait.  Next Thursday they will retest my blood and if the counts are good I can do round 5 next Friday.  If the numbers look too low still we wait another week and retest again on Thursday.  This will continue until my body has regenerated enough to be in a safe range to handle the medicine.  

I am praying that by next week my numbers will be high enough.
