Today was my two month anniversary since being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two months of survival on my way to being cancer free. Obviously I am quite a ways away from remission but looking forward to that moment each day. Since tomorrow I am scheduled for my third treatment and since my white blood count was low last time, I went for a blood draw this morning. I did so in order to not have to go down town if I am going to get turned away anyway. Unfortunately I still don't know my counts due to Spectrum's computer network being down all day.
I talked with a dear friend of ours to wish her a Happy Birthday tonight. She works for Spectrum and while expressing her own frustration of the network outage she did confirm it was back up to some capacity tonight. Hopefully if I don't have a treatment tomorrow they can let me know prior to my arrival time.
Quite an anniversary gift to get a blood draw and make multiple phone calls to the doctor's office. Oh well. I was warned Chemo would be inconvenient. This is evidently what my doctor meant when he said that. I am trying to have a perspective that my schedule is fluid. Not an easy perspective for a left brained individual to have. Maybe the Lord is teaching me flexibility. I thought I was pretty flexible already. I think we're about to find out exactly how flexible I am.
