Platelets are about the same, 85 today and 87 on Friday. No chemo today. Sigh.
We try again Monday. If my blood work is good, I have chemo Tuesday. If the platelets are not up, I go back everyday for blood work till they are. Josh probably won't be able to go. I had to push back all my chemo appointments for a week. I had to push back my surgery. I will have to push back my radiation mapping and start of radiation too. It is what it is. It's not anything I did or didn't do. My bone marrow is just tired. This is what chemo does to a person. If platelets drop below 50, I will get a transfusion. Happily, I am not there yet. My doctors and my medical team know what to do. I am going to see my TCM doc/acupuncturist in an hour. I keep telling myself it will be ok. Sometimes all you can do is wait and pray.
My onc says if I feel like it, I can still go to work and exercise, just do what I would normally do. So that's the game plan. Do my thing, maybe be a little more careful with knives while chopping vegetables, but otherwise just have patience. My ted blood cells are a touch low, so fatigue is somewhat expected.
I did wear one of the new wigs today. Loving it. I may keep swapping them out till I find myself a good luck wig.
Really love this wig. It really suits your new "do what I want" attitude. And boy oh boy is purple your color. Fabulous! I'm still walking funny, but I did get out yesterday - drove the car, did some grocery shopping and got a hair cut. I was tired, climbing in and out of the ML500 is a chore so I used the ice packs on the groin but at least I was doing something. Sometimes you just gotta "do what ya wanna do, when ya wanna do it".
