Bad news...I have the flu. I have had a scratchy throat for a couple of days and I've been wondering if it was the white blood cells recreating themselves...OK...hoping it was the white blood cells rapidly dividing and recreating themselves...
I was wrong. I am just plain sick. I have a sore throat, a headache and I've been sick to my stomach...and it sucks! The oncologist confirmed for me today that this means no chemo this week. Everything gets rescheduled to next week...
I did do my blood work up today and it was all good! So this means my immune system should be in a good position to fight this stupid flu. And I'm preferring to look at this from the perspective that maybe my body needs an extra week to get ready for the next round of chemo.
And in the meantime, I'll drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest...
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bummed...this means my treatment is now going to take longer and my surgery will be pushed out, running dangerously close to Christmas. But it is what it is...and we just move forward from here. I figure a little flu isn't going to deter my journey for long! I have cancer to eradicate...flu is nothing!!

Hey, Would you be able to take something like Cold FX ?? Just wondered since it boosts the immune system ??
I take it when i think i am getting something and often i don't get it then, or it is over much faster.
Your attitude never ceases to amaze me! Feel better soon! Big thumbs down to those stupid flu germs!! Leave Sue alone, she's busy!!
