Chemotherapy Postponed
The chemotherapy scheduled for today had to be postponed due to a low blood platelet count. It has to right itself on its own, so we will give it another week to improve. The postponement is welcome news on two fronts. I have just experienced three days of feeling amazingly well -- rather like the former Pattie, and not cancer Pattie. I am hoping without the chemo after effects this will be extended for a while longer. Also -- in May for my birthday Willie bought us tickets for the five piano concerto performances with the CMF which begin this Sunday night and go through next Sunday night. We were thinking we would be giving our tickets away, but now it looks possible for going to at least some of the nights. I am so excited. More good reports -- I WAS able to go to see Annie with the family, and even felt good enough for our twins (age 8) to spend the night with us for the first time in a long time. Also the report from Monday's CT scan was positive; not perfect yet, but on track. So I just keep giving Thanks for all the good news and thank each of you for your part in my journey. Joyfully, Pattie K

oh Pattie, that is all such good news. I am thrilled about the Annie night and the kids spending the night. What fun for all of you- grandkids bring such joy and goodness.
ReplyDeleteSo will be praying for the blood count and the freedom to go to the concerts. And how great to be feeling well and back to 'normal'. Know that this process isn't over, but good days surely do help. I am smiling for you.
so know that prayers and love continue your way. Karen
Hello Pattie,
ReplyDeleteI came to see you at the Tebo Cancer center. It is a lovely place, and you were not there. And, now I see the blessing in that! I am so glad you are looking forward to this week of concerts. And, Annie...what a delight! God must have given you this brief reprieve. And, you have the perfect plans for it.
So good that the twins could come. I bet it made them feel back to the usual too!
I hope you enjoy the weekend so much.
Love,
Pat
PS I will come back on the next time, okay?
Dear Pattie,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful it was to see you and Willie OUTSIDE the Tebo center. While it is frustrating to have to wait for the next treatment, God knows that you need this "up" time and a chance to enjoy life. How wonderful that you will get to hear the piano music!
You looked so beautiful and happy yesterday!
Keep up the good work. And maybe we'll see you next Friday. Much love, Judy
