I was to get the first dose of Taxol and Herceptin today, however, the cancer center was very short staffed and they postponed treatment until Monday. I was disappointed, but grateful that they are thinking of my safety, rather than my schedule. Another bump today was that my oncologist told me he had resigned from the cancer center and that he wouldn't be with me to complete my treatment. Oh, what to do? Marlin and I talked about possible options - change doctors now, wait and see who might replace him, go to another cancer center? I'm asking for prayers again - no decision has to be made immediately, so pray and wait for an answer.
I am feeling good. Last week my white cell count was very low again and I took another Neulasta injection - makes my bones hurt, so quite a bit of pain last weekend. However, I bounce back pretty good and have been busy around the house and working on the computer doing Washburn projects.
Marlin, Grant and I are going to Wichita for a short weekend to see Lindsay and Aaron - this will be the extent of our vacation trips this summer. We haven't been to Wichita for several months, since Lindsay and Aaron were making the trip to Girard about every weekend after my diagnosis. We are going to "the body" exhibit downtown - so it will be fun and educational for me and - no doubt - boring for my family.
Keep me in your prayers in this "bump" of treatment.
Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:3-4.
Lord, give me patience!
Love, Ellen
