Oh, the frustrations

What a week it has been thus far, nothing seems to want to go my way. On Monday I was scheduled for chemo but it got delayed until today because my white blood cell counts were too low. So I was booked back in plus I had a dreaded dentist appointment this morning.

So I woke up and went for my blood work at 9 this morning only to get a call an hour later saying my counts were still to low, a no go yet again for chemo. It happened 3 times so far and keeps pushing me farther into the spring before this chapter is over. So I had to cancel my dentist appointment because it is too dangerous to get work done with low blood cells. I have to continue with pulsating tooth aches and gums that are cut and swollen. Let's hope an infection doesn't start because I can't fight it with no immune system.

It is so frustrating because I am receiving painful achy injections to bring my counts up and yet when the time rolls around they are still too low. So now, instead of VON coming 7 days in a row for injections, it is pushed up to 10 visits. I was getting so excited that chemo would be half way done at the beginning of the week, only to be let down by my own body. No one to blame really.

On top of that I have a Grandmother stuck in isolation in the hospital not doing too peachy because of complications with her cancer. I am just hoping and praying that she pulls through. 

And the stupid weather Wednesday morning made me cancel my appointment to go pick out a good looking wig that I will actually want to wear. Someday I will get one, hopefully next week if all the factors will co-operate with me and give a smooth sailing week. Monday mornings blood work will let me know if I can get chemo that day or not. Until then, I hope the light at the end of the tunnel will get brighter instead of fade away like it has been.

Have a good weekend all. I wish everyone good  health because it sucks when you don't have it.
