I was suppose to finish my last toxol on the 18 ..Well i haven't been feeling well at all no energy tired all the time. Well turned out they needed to give me 2 units of blood thats why I was not feeling good. I thought that I was just getting lazy or something i knew something was wrong.If i wouldn't have comnplained they would have gave me that last treatment which would have really kicked my you know what. So our bodys do talk to us lets us know when we need to put things in check..If all goes well my last toxol will be the 27 then on to radiation in a couple of weeks Yahooooo again LOL

    I don't blame you for being
    I don't blame you for being mad and upset! I thought they were supposed to do a complete blood count every time BEFORE chemo.
    Well, glad they (or should I say you) figured it out.

    Sorry for the delay, but glad you found out!
    It is annoying to be delayed, but better that you found out now than went through treatment and got even sicker! You'll get through it. I'm 5 months post chemo, 2 months post radiation. There is light at the end of the tunnel. (And no, it's not a train coming at you!)

    Frustrating for sure!
    But glad you got it figured out. What happened to bloodwork before each treatment?

    You will get through it all! I"m now 8 months post-chemo and 4 months post rads, and dancing with NED. Hang in there. NJMom10 is right, that's not a train!

    Boy do I get it
    My last 2 rads boosts were delayed 7 days. I could have easily spit nails and breathed fire. I wanted done so badly! It was just too much for my overwhelmed chemo-brain to absorb. But then in his typical fashion my hubby calmed me down and I finished up.

    It stinks to have your game plan altered, but I will be thinking of you on the 27th,

    Good for you. I agree and
    Good for you. I agree and it is frustrating that many times we are the ones who diagnose a problem. And to think that I sometimes feel silly mentioning some ache or pain. I'm learning to get over that. We do know our bodies better than anyone.

    Sorry you had a delay, but
    Sorry you had a delay, but good thing you spoke. You will be done pretty soon and we will celebrate.

    I can relate to the frustrations when Drs. don't listen or don't pay enough attention.
