Chemo Treatment - Round 7 Postponed

Headed out today for chemo round number 7 at 10 a.m. My weight was up another 2 lbs which was good. Dr. Murphy asked if I was having any problems since my last treatment. Nothing major except feeling like I wear cement shoes every once in a while when my legs get heavy. My eyes seem to water a lot as if I am crying, but I am really not. He assured me that that was a side effect of the Taxotere.


He did his usual exam and listened to my chest sounds, but then announced that my white blood counts were not where they should be and that I could not get chemo today due to them being below the required level. He said we had to postpone treatment for another week and hopefully they will be back up where they need to be by next Thursday.

Nick and I headed home sorta somber. Oh well, Lord knows what's best at this point. I will use this time to rest and relax and June 3rd will be here before we know it. This does however change things for my surgery AGAIN! UGH! Brenda
