No Treatment This Week

Booh!!!  Yay!!! Booh!!! Yay!!!  Booh because after a long day at the hospital, I didn't end up getting chemo treatment.  My white blood cells level is lower than they wanted to see so they cannot give me chemo until it goes back up to where it is safe for me to get the treatment.  It was a close one!  My level shows 1.35 and they wanted to see 1.5.  So, the doc said I should be able to do it next week and scheduled me back in for then.  So, it also means that my entire 3 more chemo plan got pushed back by at least one week now.  Also, it means that my immune system is weak and I will need to wear a mask - especially at home when my little Jake comes back from daycare.  I must rest LOTS, continue to hibernate at home, and try to push myself to eat a bit more to strengthen my immune.  Yay because I went to my dentist said that my saliva is almost back to normal!!!  However, I don't for some reason feel like it is.  My saliva still feels fairly thick, bubbly, etc... but whatever, if they say that I'm recovering well in terms of saliva glands, then I will take any good news!  Another Yay is that I was craving for a bowl of noodle soup made with fish. Only this restaurant in Richmond Hill that I know makes it real well.  I managed to eat a very small bowl.  I also craved for a small doughnut but boy does it taste so bad!!  It taste like I was eating cardboard or something.  Not like I have eaten cardboard in my life but it was so hard to chow it down!  Also, it was suppose to taste sweet but not for me, it tasted very salty!!!

So disappointed that I can't get chemo this week as planned but happy that I got some good news out of it too.  Life is so unpredictable!!!!!  Ugh..... :p
