After 3 delays (not including the time I ended up in the hospital), my oncology team decided to lower my dosages by 10%. When my oncologist told me this on Monday just before my treatment, I cried. I was so afraid that it would put me at a higher risk of the cancer coming back.
They assured me that that is not the case. They looked at all my blood tests from the beginning to now and recalulated my dosages so that I would not continue to be delayed. he said it is my "new" 100%. He said that the meds are working very well and doing their job - because my numbers (platelets and white cells) are always so low, it shows the meds are doing their job. They can give me meds to fix my white cells but not the platelets.
If this works, my last treatment would be November 5th, 6th, and 7th. We shall see. My first end date was Sept. 11th!
In addition, my incision is still a pain in the ass. I now have the MRSA infection and my surgeon had to cut my incision open again just above my bellybutton and just below. RIDICULOUS. My surgery was MARCH 5th!!!!!! I can't believe the stupid incision troubles are still continuing.
Hard to keep things positive these days.
