Today's chemo that wasn't...

As we were driving to this mornings appointment Rachel commented how tired she felt thought her white count was going to be too low for chemo today. She has learned her body and how to gauge what's happening inside very well through this. The lab work confirmed Rachel's suspicion that the nagging effects of the chemo from 3 weeks ago have kept her white count just a bit too low for chemo today. Instead she received a dose of Neupogen(white blood cell stimulator) and was rescheduled for chemo on Friday this week instead. Her spirits are good, but as much as she didn't want the chemo today I think she did want to just get it over and done with. Please continue to pray for Rachel's encouragement.
