I had my blood draw after work on Monday, and went to the clinic for my treatment yesterday.... and they sent me home.
My labwork still indicates that I am not tolerating the Gemzar, and they are withdrawing treatment for this week to research next steps.
SO, I get an extra week off of chemo, and hopefully, my damaged immune system will perk back up, and my liver enzymes will drop back into normal range.
I feel pretty well, so that's good, but if I get the slightest inkling that I might be getting sick, I am to call my nurse immediately.
Sigh.... it's all good, though. I get to skip chemo, and chances are, the next steps will be easier on me.
We had a bonus afternoon off yesterday as a result, and I will get labs done again on Monday.
Then, I am to call the clinic Tuesday morning to be sure I am supposed to go in. It may take more than one week for my numbers to normalize.
