As you may have guessed, the doctor postponed my chemo. Once more not enough white blood cells. This time they gave me an injection for my body to start producing them. If my body 'obeys', my blood should be alright by monday, then I'll have to go back. Like before my feelings about this are a bit mixed. Of course I enjoy these few days' grace, but it will also prolong the entire process. The doctor also told me the long expected scan will only take place TWO weeks after the chemo, and not one as I was hoping. They are lucky I'm such a patient patient! (haha!)
The Hospital just called me to say they have no rooms free tomorrow, so the next treatment will be later, probably thursday. So won't be there tomorrow! (In the mean time this website changed as well! Now Icanchange my layout!)
Hi everyone, It's been a while, but I don't want to bore you by writing ten times the same. This second "Gemzar"-treatment is comparable to the first one, so last week I felt a bit nauseous but only for two days and tomorrow is the day I have to sleep in the hospital, the beginning of 4 or 5 tough days. And then next week finally... the PET/CT-scan! After that, they can really see how this treatment is working and how much more of it I need to be cured. Of course I'm dreaming the doctors will say "Hey, it's enough! You're cured!" But one of them already told me they usually need four treatments. I'm not looking forward to two more... And at the end there's always the transplantation of stem-cells. I don't need to tell you that this chemos are weighing heavier and heavier, since this is chemo nr 8, and it's time they come to an end. I'll just have to wait for the results. So, tomorrow afternoon, I'll be in Gasthuisberg, Leuven, feel free to hop in! Greetings, Harmen
