My ever present friend and other health issues:

Four appointments this week, CT scan at Southlands on Tuesday at 9.40 am. A blood test at Shoreham Health Centre at 3.45 pm, their calendar indicated 10.45 am, my card recorded 12.15 pm, rearranged to 3.45 pm. The neutrophil level from the blood test is at 2.9 so my chemotherapy will happen on Friday. 

My blood test on Wednesday revealed a low neutrophil level at 1.2 Too low for treatment today. Infusion 16 has been delayed by one week until next Friday. This brings a rearrangement of the subsidiary IV appointments including the pre-holiday PICC line service. The delay means that I will have had a 4 week gap between infusions followed by a three week gap. The most recent CEA test result was 4 so a further fall into the normal range!
