Yesterday I was supposed to have my third Gemzar treatment, but my white blood cell count was too low and so the treatment was cancelled.
It's a weird feeling.... chemo is not something that is fun to do, but it is still upsetting to have it cancelled, seems like a bad sign.
Apparently though, it is very common with the drugs I am on to have this happen. My oncologist is unconcerned, and told me to view it as a sign that the chemo is "making stuff happen in there".... she will likely do a dose reduction for my next treatment so that this doesn't happen again.
