HMC Visit on July 22, 2009

We had a long day scheduled. My Dr's visit was scheduled for 9AM and they took blood for labwork first. We were done with the doctor by 9:45AM. We went to the infusion center (where I get 2 different chemo drugs) to try and push up our 2:00PM appointment. We were told that wasn't possible. We went to the Hershey Outlets to kill some time. At Noon, the secretary from the infusion center called and asked that we report back as soon as we could.

The lab results from my blood work were not favorable. My white blood cell count was at 0.7 which means that they can not administer the chemo. We were sent home and rescheduled for next Thursday the 30th.

So, I need to avoid large crowds and gatherings until my blood count is higher (at least 1.2) because my immune system is very vulnerable until then.

Good News is that they also had my pump removed until things straighten out. I can shower again, which I am sure EVERYONE appreciates.
