As they took my blood, I felt a strange and rather painful pulling in my shoulder, so they packed my off down to Xray to inject a tracer fluid to see whether the access port, which had been inserted into my arm under the skin back in September had moved. It hadn't, so off I went back up tp Day Oncology to have my treatment.
The kind girls gave me a nice lunch, after which my results of the blood test had come back. I was told that they couldn't carry on today with my chemo because my white cell count was far too low for my body to safely accept it. Very frustrating - 4 hours spent at the hospital for naught....
Thing is I feel ok - just a bit tired. So I got in a taxi and came home. Harriet was pleased I was home earlier than usual, but I was grumpy, thinking that the week's postponement meant that the last treatment and all the followup scans etc would also be later, so even longer away from work.
So I sat, ate chocolate, and put on my favourite "virtual walk" dvds - England, of course! Cheered me up, and I found myself planning my next trip over there....now have Cotswolds to add to my list of "must do's"......

The word that comes to mind as I read this post is: indominable. Your spirit (and attitude) are amazing; and I'm blessed to know you've found the healing comforts of chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteYour virtual touring has inspired me to check that out. I may just have to do a bit of walking myself.
Blessings,
Kathleen
