Carolyn was actually scheduled for her 3rd infusion today. In preparation for it, she had some required lab work done yesterday. The lab work showed her white cell count significantly lower than it needed to be.

We were all ready to go to the hospital this morning. Carolyn had taken her pre-infusion meds. Then the doctor's assistant called and said to forget the infusion today. The doctor would be calling and discussing the new plans based on her low White Cell count. Carolyn was assured that this was nothing to be alarmed about and that this would simply delay the next treatment a week to allow her body to rebuild the white cell supply. It did kinda mess up her day as the pre-infusion meds that she took left her in a drowsy stupor that makes it difficult to concentrate on any projects she might have worked on or even read. If only she had just gotten that call an hour earlier.
How frustrating. Hard to waste a day like that. Hope she can get built up quickly and get this over-with.
