Week 4 almost done! The out-patient workers had Good Friday off at Princess Margaret Hospital so technically it will be Monday’s radiation treatment that will complete the week.
Sadly, I have had yet another setback and my chemotherapy that was scheduled for Monday has been postponed. I expect the new date will be determined by my next blood test on Wednesday. This past Wednesday, the blood test revealed that the reason I have been sleeping so much is due to the fact that my hemoglobin and red blood cells etc are all low. So, I was immediately sent to get a transfusion and given 2 units (or 2 bags) of blood.
This is in my small sketchbook that I made so it would fit my small purse. I’m a chicken so I only looked quickly and had to look away. I only glanced once as the nurse hung the bags. However, more importantly I found out that I will be able to give blood a year after I’m am cancer free. Good to know!!!
So yes, I am disappointed but what can I do about it, nothing but enjoy the respite from the dreadful chemo, for a short time anyway. Regardless, I’ll be back on the hamster wheel on Monday.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter if you celebrate and if not enjoy your time off with family and friends.
