So yesterday we woke up super early (4am) and turned on the tv to see what was going on with the big storm we heard all night. And we quickly realized that getting to the medical center would be tricky. We were ready to leave by 7:30 but sat and watched the news and tried to figure out a route that wasn't under water. The people from the cancer center called me around 8 and said not to come in. I kept thinking that they would call me to come in later yesterday afternoon, but they didn't. So I texted my oncologist last night to see if I should just show up today or wait for them to call me to reschedule. She texted the infusion charge nurse and they decided to fit me in today.
We left at 6:45 this morning and had a smooth ride here. I got in right away and got my labs done. All was good. White blood count was good and so were the platelets. So those guys need to keep it up!
I love my sweet nurse that I had today (I've had her before) and it was very slow and quiet here this morning. So things went very smoothly and quickly.
I've never had chemo on Tuesday and we got to see that on Tuesday there is a cookie LADY, instead of cookie boy. My nurse said she prefers cookie boy to cookie LADY because cookie boy always offers her one, but cookie LADY is somewhat stingy with her cookies. So I got the scoop on the cookie drama. :-)
I should go back to my normal Monday infusions next week.
Still praying big. Thank you to everyone for praying with us.
(This is what it looks like after they access my port and hook up my chemo. It is a sterile procedure and I have to turn my head away while they do it so I don't breathe on the area before it is covered up.)
