An extra week off


So I tried whole-heartedly to go back on chemo last Monday but my blood said "nope". My platelet levels were too low which means if I'm exposed to any nasty bug I am more likely to catch it and it would be much worse because I’d have a harder time fighting it. As if cancer wasn’t enough:) I think my blood was feeling left out.

 
So I'm having my blood checked again tomorrow and the level was at 55 and it needs to be at a minimum of 75 to take another round, I'm feeling ready to take another round so "bring it on!!!!'

 
I heard from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto and they agree with the treatment that Lions Gate Hospital has me on and would be treating me the same way. That's encouraging. I'm still staying on top of everything and I’m not taking any half-ass answers on any questions. I've learned and I know I’ve mentioned this before, I will be my own advocate.

God's like this huge pillar of strength behind me and that is what I lean on especially when I need to be verbally strong while maintaining a certain level of decency, for those of you that know me know that this is something that doesn't come easily to me and only thru the grace of God am I able to do it.

He is in and he is my everything.

  1. It's a blessing to pray for you who bless so many, for you who delights in the grace and mercy of the One who loves you best. Great news from Princess Margaret Hospital, and praise God for the 'right' good news at this end of Canada!

    Love you loads forever and for always, Amlam
