We were so surprised to find out that my neutrophils and white blood cell counts were really low after my blood test yesterday. All was extremely well last week and I feel fine. I’m eating well and gaining weight, but they’ve delayed chemo until next Thursday 25th January. I guess my body simply doesn’t like chemotherapy and there’s nothing I can do about it except wait for the blood counts to recover.
I’m so have to be very careful about going to crowded places as I can easily catch bugs from people next to me. So no hugging at choir, or rugby, or anywhere. If you don’t feel well, 2m is a safe distance from me.
At home Neil’s been busy working as a locum and I’m loving getting the bedrooms painted, choosing curtains with Neil and drilling holes in walls for new curtain rails. Once upstairs is finished we can start on the garden as it was neglected all last year due to the wedding and ‘stuff’.
I feel fine about these delays. It just comes with the territory and there’s no point getting upset or anything. There are far too many good things happening in our lives and I’m just about to pick up the electric drill again. I love getting the jobs done. My next update will be next Wednesday after my next blood test. Fingers crossed as I really want to get on with it.
