Had labs drawn again yesterday. It wasn't so good. Normally tech gets me on a first try. Guessing that I am way over tired and dehydrated. It took a bit to finally get the draw and even though no bruise, definitely sore.
Oncology office response about my labs and go forward plan was up in the air. My dr was supposed to be in office today and instead is already gone for vacation - leaving her notes to be deciphered by her MA and on call dr. There is big snag about tweak to my chemo med. New dose has been recommended, but insurance pharmacy did not ship it in time. Supposed to be starting today, and it only got shipped today, leaving us to possibly wait as long as 14 days for it to arrive. There was some discrepancy as to starting current med today or waiting another 3 days to see if new script to arrive and setting the schedule off even more. So frustrating. The other concern is that my white count "Nutrafill" is literally. 05 over the very bottom minimum # to even start chemo again. I have had almost a whole week of feeling extra crummy. My concern is feeling worse crummy if I do start chemo now. Dr office plan for now is to wait until Saturday to see if new script arrives. If not, will start current dose and change over to new dose once it arrives. Will need to notify dr office when that change happens. Next appt isn't until end of the month. Will see how I do between now and then.
Other labs for PCP were also drawn yesterday - got a call from the new MA. My labs came back stable for once. Go forward plan is to stay on same med schedule until next appt.
Will just continue to lay low for now and rest and work through side effects. Will post again soon.
