False start and just a bit angry!
Hi ladies, I'll start with an apology because I need to vent a little!
Last Monday was d-day for my first chemo with the oncologist appointment beforehand. All going well only about 10 minutes beh...

Hi Dette,
No wonder you were upset, that must have been so frustrating! But like the others have said, at least your treatment team is paying attention to what your body can and can't handle.
On my 6th round of chemo, I was told (promptly and without drama) that because I had some neuropathy my treatment would be delayed for a week. I felt like I'd rocked up to school for a week of maths exams only to be told that the place would be closed down for a week -- overjoyed! I felt like I'd got out of jail free. I scooted out so fast, I was worried the oncologist would change his mind. Later, I realised that of course the delay would set my treatment schedule back a week, and it was annoying having to change everything (including radiotherapy schedule) but that week of feeling great -- almost normal! -- was priceless.
Anyway Dette, I just wanted to offer that. I know your circumstance is completely different; you were mucked around and have anxiety now about what's going on with your bloods & how things will proceed. But maybe down the track you'll get some kind of nice payback. I guess we have to take comfort wherever we find it.
I hope your treatment works out, will be thinking of you.
go well,
Heather
