Well, I went for my chemo this morning and was unable to have it. My blood count is .6 and it is supposed to be at 1.5 before they will give me my chemo. They taught my dad and I how to give me injections of this immune boost to help my counts go up. We had to practice 3 times giving injections to towels and then I had to try it on myself. Yuck! I got a little queasy as I was giving myself the injection. Oh well....a new skill that I have aquired! The nurse said that I picked it up really well.

I will have to give myself the injections for Sat. & Sun and then on Monday I will go to have my blood taken and am scheduled for my chemo that day. For the rest of my treatment I will need to give myself injections which will help me keep on track.

The plus about my chemo being delayed is that I will have my good week during Christmas! Instead of getting my chemo on the 22nd it is now pushed back to the 28th.

My mom, who has been helping me out each day, is sick with strep throat. Hopefully no one else in the family gets sick. It is so hard to keep those "bugs" away.
