Now what...


Today is a pity-party type of day for me. I had pinned all my hopes on one thing that did not come through for us. Now I have no plan. I am devastated. I'm depressed. I'm worried. I'm stressed. I'm overwhelmed. I'm lost. I'm teary. I'm emotional. 

Just for clarification, this paragraph does not concern Jim’s heath.

On schedule...

My husband Jim's white blood cell count had risen to an acceptable level. Jim was able to pick up his chemo schedule where he left off, at C2d22. This is good news. 

Monday (20May2013) will be the first day if cycle 3, C3d1. Info on chemo cycles can be found in previous posts.

Worried...


I am requesting prayers and good wishes that Jim’s WBC count will be acceptable and that Jim will resume his chemo schedule without any further delays. Last week Jim’s low white blood cell count forced Jim off of his chemo schedule. Jim was unable to receive his scheduled chemo treatment and instead had to take a series of five shots to try to force his WBC count back up. Today, Jim will return to the cancer center with the goal of his WBC count being at an acceptable level and that he will be able to receive his chemo treatment. Last Monday C2d22 was cancelled, so today should put him back at C2d22 again to resume his previous schedule. 

Edit: Jim's WBC was good. He did receive chemo. It was day C2d22 again, as expected. He is now resumed his chemo schedule. Good news. Thank you for praying and for caring.
