So Close...

Had a frustrating trip to the infusion center today. I was all ready for my last round of this chemo. Got in quickly to get my port accessed and blood drawn, got pulled into the infusion room and got hooked up with the pre-meds. Then the nurse comes in and says there is a new order from my oncologist: I'm not getting taxotere or carboplatin- just herceptin. He couldn't explain why, just said the doctor would be over and I could ask her... My doctor did come by and told me that my platelet count was too low. The cut off is 100 and my count was 94... so close, but not close enough. I realize it is for my own good, but I'm frustrated. Despite all my life surfing talk I'm still a planner and this delay wasn't in my plan. At least it's summer and I don't have work to deal with too. It just means I'll be feeling pretty good for our trip up the coast this coming weekend and I'll be feeling pretty tired for our trip to Michigan for the 4th. (urgh, not the plan I had in mind).

So, now I'm going to take it easy, eat well (bone soup again!) and get those platelets up!
