Treatment Delayed

Due to low blood counts my next treatment will not be this Thursday but delayed at least a week until my counts are back up to a reasonable level. I have been bruising easily which is a sure sign the bloods are low as the tests confirmed. This means I am very prone to infection at the moment and need to be careful about cuts, bites and colds etc. This may be the pattern of the treatment going forward, so the original 15 weeks elapsed time is already 16 weeks and may by the end extend by several more weeks, depending on blood tests before each round of treatment. Apart from my bloods my general reaction to the treatment is good, as Pam said my appetite is not affected and the side effects have not been that bad, nothing a good siesta can't put right anyway. I have also seen the lymphodema nurse about my leg and my "Nora Batty stocking" (thanks Frank!) is on order, can't wait :-)

Enjoy the May Bank Holiday weekend, hope the sun shines.
