When I went for my chemo treatment today, I couldn't have it. My white blood count was 500 and needs to be 1000 and my platelets were also low. With both low, the nurse practitioner told me I couldn't have the chemo. I'm scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday for chemo. If both numbers are low, I'll have injections. In a way, I wasn't surprised because I felt weak and lightheaded yesterday and today. I might run a fever and get an infection. If that happens, I'll be put on antibiotics.
The thing is it messes up my schedule. Before I would've had my chemo the week before my Author/Reader event on August 1-4. Now I am scheduled to have it the same week. I can't have it during the week when Tom and I will travel to Shipshewana. I'll see what happens next week and have to make a decision. I need to order my books soon. On August 2, we can sell our books. It is stressing me out and probably not a good time for me to try to go, but I have already paid for an Amish dinner, a buggy ride, and a play. All of these things will be wonderful if I feel well enough to go.
