I made a little unexpected trip to the hospital today. A New adventure! My platelet count was so low that they sent me to the hospital to get a transfusion (of platelets).
It wasn't so bad, just took a good part of my day. God made sure that My low counts were found. I went to get my blood tested for my annual checkup with my primary care doctor last Monday. I wasn't scheduled to see my chemo doctor until next Wednesday. By then, I would have been in big trouble, since my platelets were down to 5 and my blood was not clotting. I made this appointment with my primary care doctor a year ago! Our God is Great!!!
The chemo drug Gemzar is the culprit. It is hard on the bone marrow. I guess it was really hard on mine!!! I have to go back in on Monday to get my blood checked. The chemo doctor warned me that this may delay my next treatment, which is scheduled for next Thursday. We shall see.
In my new adventure today, I shared with a man who has had a bone marrow transplant that it's all in God's hands. Praised the Lord with the gal that admitted me at the hospital. (Her husband is going through cancer treatments and they are struggling financially) My nurse's wife has Triple Negative Breast Cancer, lives on the street in Mt. Shasta where my Uncle lived, and worked at the hospital where Ron installed the phone system. When I asked him if he went to church, he said he hadn't been to church since he was a boy. I told him that I am in a win-win situation because God is in control and when I die, I know I'll be in heaven with Him. And I did it all with a good attitude. Now that is a great God!!!
