I got myself totally psyched up for chemo today. My sweet sweet friend Julie went with me. We got there at around 9:00, I had my blood work done and then went up to the oncologist office. There was very positive news about how well the drugs are working. And overall my blood work looked good so they had me take my Pill. Yes, the Pill with a capital P. It is a part of a 3-pack for nausea...and it is like gold. I took the Pill and we went down to the 3rd floor to the chemo area. Just as I was about to get my butt whooped by Julie in Travel Scrabble, the nurse found me to tell me "No chemo today". The blood work showed elevated levels in the liver profile (LOL...I just proof-read and caught a typo: "elevated levels in the lover profile...hahaha).
Carrie, Kyle, Julie and I went to lunch, which was a wonderful way to salvage the day. Thank you, dear friends!
So no chemo today...no pills tonight...no pills until next Tuesday. They will look at my blood again next Tuesday and hopefully things will look better.
I am pretty bummed for someone who wanted 3 extra days off...now I have a week off. I was happy at first but I am just so eager to get all this done. Plus it is just sorta emotional getting all geared up to go to chemo.
We'll try again next Tuesday!

I will be praying for you this week. Sorry to hear that you were unable to get treatment this week. I hope that next week will bring better results on your BW. Angie
Hello My friend,
Gosh it is dissapointing when they NO Chemo...I know, but we have to believe that there is a reason. When that happened to me, my schedule change was so frustrating but then it all made sense. I would have friends visit or the boys would have a basketball game. Due to the schedule change I was feeling well enough to attend or to enjoy my friends. So I always ended up feeling grateful, not at first though. Oh as for the bad TV I had to laugh, I am still addicted to the REal Housewives of Orange County, I love it. Intervention is great also.
Love You

I hope you don't feel like you're just delaying the inevitable and can enjoy your break! Have a good week.
Well, dang! I'm sorry you were all psyched up for the chemo and it didn't happen. I can't imagine how hard that was. Take care and have a great week!

Poohie! I know you were disappointed. In the long run, when this is all behind you, this 7 day wait won't even be something you remember. That just gives us another week to pray and for those "dogs" to get stronger and madder (more mad?).
Ice Road Truckers is on tonight so you can sit back and enjoy that. It's so exciting!
Much Love, Janet
Flipping out.....is a really funny reality show....not sure if it is running right now....but really good!! I hope you are having a good day on your vacation. fists up JoAnna
Isabella, Grace and I are praying for you. Hope you can get this phase of your treatment over with soon. Karen
Maureen, The Office and Entourage are hillarious. Rent them if you don't have cable. Lost is starting up soon, and of course Heroes is fun. I sound like a batshit crazy TV addict, I know, but TV is good when you're healing.
