Malina was supposed to start 5 long days of out patient chemo yesterday, but that didn't happen. Her starting yesterday was all dependent on her blood counts. This is the first time that she has not made counts. Her platelets were just a little lower than they need to be. The doctors decided to let us have the weekend and come back in Monday to try again. If she makes her counts on Monday then she will start chemo and finish it on Friday. It will still be out patient but they will be long days.
It is a little frustrating to not make counts because then her whole schedule s thrown off. She has 3 more small chemo treatments before she starts getting her scans again and they all had to be moved a week. I know there is a reason for the change and that is ok. It is just hard when we have everything else set to her schedule and when it changes, it changes everything else.
One nice thing about her not making counts is that we will all get to be home this weekend together!
