Chemo Round 4 rescheduled again

All the emotional preparation for Thursday’s chemo session is again for nothing. The medical aid has as yet not approved the special ‘neutrogen’ that I need (Neutrophils are the white immune fighting cells). This afternoon’s conversation with the chemo practice has now changed the dates again. Assuming I get the generators tomorrow morning, it will only be possible to check my blood late Thursday or early Friday morning, so this has moved chemo to Monday 14 Jan. In the meantime I have been doing lots of resting but still feel permanently tired.
