Couldn't get chemo
« on: January 22, 2015, 07:11:29 am »
I was suppose to have chemo today, but after they did my blood test I couldn't have it.  The results from the lab came back and my white blood count was way too low, so the infusion center put a call upstairs to my oncologist and he said no.  Hopefully my blood will increase on it's own and I can have it next week.

That's an issue with radiation and / or chemo for cancer treatment.... They usually target quickly growing cells, like the cancer cells. Unfortunately it also targets things like hair, immune cells (like the white blood cells), stomach and intestinal lining, etc. Hoping for the best for you.

Saying a prayer for you, too, Nancy5.  Hang in there!
