Chemo round 7 rescheduled

I am surely psychic! The blood tests this morning revealed that my overall white blood cells and neutrophils are too low for chemo tomorrow. Once again I am on a week of medrol medication and a special request has been sent to medical aid for a 'blood booster' injection. I should get the approval by Thursday and then the injection Friday morning. Chemo is now rescheduled for Monday 21 April. Between all of us I am actually quite pleased that this round is rescheduled as tomorrow is our 20th wedding anniversary.
The second school term started yesterday (thank goodness) and Dylan left this morning for Grahamstown where there is a science festival for a week. Ian has been working from home for the past 2 months and it waiting for the go ahead for a six month assignment in Bisho. Once he leaves for Bisho we expect him to come home only every second week-end.

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary ..... 20 years, that's something to celebrate.
As you always say. everything happens for a reason so the chemo delay gives you time to enjoy your anniversary.
Good luck for the final 2 chemo sessions.
