Week 12--Delayed

Hi everyone,

Well we are going to have to delay the final treatment until next Friday. They took one look at me today at the chemo center and freaked out..The  nurse asked me why I was so pale and short of breath. I told her about the week we just had dealing with the infection in the lungs plus the elevated temperature (low grade fever they call it) She told me to sit down and took my temp and my blood pressure.  I have a temperature of 100 and my blood pressure was very elevated too
Although my blood work is fine, I am not fine. They said that if I got chemo today it would make me too sick since I was already sick to start with. I am disappointed because this just delays everything but I am also kind of relieved because I really feel like crap to start with and I can't imagine how sick I would feel next week. The doctor gave me some antibiotics for the lungs and we are going to watch that over the next week and see what it looks like next Friday.  I’m sure we will be fine by then.

So thanks for all the prayers, positive energy, good thoughts and other forms of good vibes that you sent my way. I am going to wrap them up, save them for a week and open them next Friday J

Just a minor setback…

Love and Peace

John
