I have another week off from treatment. My white cell count was too low when I went in yesterday morning. This throws my schedule off because I'm supposed to have a CT scan on February 28. It will have to be postponed since I'll have treatment the day before. I don't think I can have the scan while I'm still hooked up to the pump. Plus, I don't think that I could handle the barium sulfate smoothie the day after treatment. It made me feel sick the first time and I hadn't even had chemo yet.
The twice daily injections have to continue for now. Although my blood has thinned to the point that I'm bruising more easily and I have had a bloody nose, it is not even close to thin enough. "Normal" is 1.0. I need to get to 2.0. I can stop the injections at 1.5. I am at 1.2. UGH!! So we've upped my dosage of coumadin and will continue the injections. I have to go in Friday to get another blood test done. At least I already have an surgical follow-up Friday, so it's not going to be an extra trip... always find that silver lining.
