Taking the Oath.
Pinning on the new bars.
And us.
What a great night. Great company, great food....fun times. Thomas looked so handsome and I'm so proud of him. You can see the rest of the pictures from the night on his blog.
I was suppose to have chemo this week (starting yesterday) but when I went in and after they had accessed my port, the cbc showed my platelets were too low (15,000) to start. Which is strange because I just had a blood transfusion the day before. So no chemo this week- I'll start on Monday. Given my platelets are up. I'm not worried yet- only if they aren't up by next week. This is the first time this has happened and I have to admit I was happy. No sitting there for hours for the next three days, no feeling like crap....not until next week that is. It's like that feeling of guilt that doesn't go away. Always in the back of your mind- waiting to bring you down and make you feel horrible. I've been reading the blog of Miles Levin, another young person who is fighting cancer and read a quote he posted from a teenage cancer survivor- CANCER IS A SOUL SHAKING DISEASE. So honest and so true.

Good job throwing together the party, sweety. You were a hit! I'm worried about the platelettes too, but am praying to trust the plan...
I'm saying that your platelettes were just too happy with the wonderful food you made for the party and weren't ready for chemo just yet. Of course, I'll keep you in my prayers. I'm glad that you read Miles' blog too - although it is getting harder each day.
