Chemo Delayed

The whole idea of being induced so I could have my baby early was to get started a few weeks early on the chemo. Everyone feels that too much time has gone by now as it is between the surgery and getting started.

I ended up with a c - section (another story that I will post in my baby blog that is linked to this one for anyone that may be interested) so as a result, I will have to delay the start of my chemo treatments another 3 or 4 weeks.

I need time to heel and chemo would interfere with that and then that would be adding fuel to the fire.

I am not really ok with that but I have no choice and totally understand the risks of starting next week opposed to another few weeks. I was told that it should be ok to start a little later. SHOULD be. Kinda scary. Like the oncologist said however, they are not treating any known cancer, its just my insurance policy to increase my odds of being here in 10 years.

So, a little scary, a little reassuring, a little annoying and a little relieving all at the same time.

Its kind of nice that I have that extra couple of weeks with my son before I start to feel crappy.

We went to the chemo orientation a few days ago. I was listening to some people and realized that I have it pretty good. A lot of those people who are going for chemo are probably scared out of their tree and this chemo is their last hope. So, I have it really good if that's all I am there for is to increase my odds of living in the near/distant future. Okay, that sounded a little odd but yea, as far as everyone is concerned, my cancer is 100% gone. If it is not, hopefully those cells can hold off another few weeks before going to total battle with my other organs. :)
