18. Chemo Good news!
Normally, today being Monday, this would be the start of another chemo week, where I would go see Lani, my home-care nurse, who would take the necessary blood samples for lab work and check my Picc line. However, due to the recent a-fib scare, treatment number 8 is put on hold until my oncologist is back from vacation. So, much to my relief, I get a 2 week break (that is a full chemo cycle)! This gives my body a chance to recover and adjust the platelet, red and white blood cell count. Relief, relief, relief!!!
But wait.... there is more.... SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance - automobile division (for our international readers) 😉) has delivered what they promised: they sent me a renewed 5 year driver's licence and reused my old photo for photo iD! What a relief also! Hurrah for the good people working at SGI! Thank You! (refer back to post nr. 9 chemo hair: about losing hair)
Also a big "bisou" to the 4 people who "follow" me on my blog and especially Jenn who started this! Of course I would like to have a lot more readers/followers/subscribers so I encourage you to push some buttons way on the bottom of my blog and/or subscribe to my blog on the subscription gadget. I will not ask you for money I promise 😊and it does not show up where you live. You cannot reach the "follow" or "subscription" buttons on your mobile device unless you change to the web version on your mobile device. I would not ask you to do this except that I would like to instigate a bit of change and here it is: I CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT READERS LIKE YOU TO BACK ME UP! Sorry for the shouting!
Lastly For quite some time now I have been working on A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC. I have e-mailed and talked to tons of people working in the "cancer industry". In Wednesday's post I will give info on how to prevent colorectal cancer, what I think went wrong in my case and how you have a better chance learning from my mistakes to avoid getting colorectal cancer. So please be there and pass that post on to anyone who could possibly benefit from that. Thanks Take care!
Oh and Happy Family Day! 👪
We are looking forward to reading the information re. colorectal cancer prevention.
ReplyDeleteYes I will post it tomorrow. Please spread the word. Very important!!!You may help prevent this disease with someone else! That is my intent anyway.
