My Third Chemo

My second chemo was postponed by a week because my white blood cell (WBC) count was very low and I had to be given injection to boost it and Thank God it improved.

After the discomfort and pain on the first week after my second chemo, I was again feeling better and and believed that the blood result test for my third chemo will be good that I just asked my brother to get it. Unfortunately there were several deviation from the normal level including the WBC which was lower than normal but not as low as before and the SGOT/SGPT which shoot up as compared to previous results. Oh Lord, I don't want another delay! I had to go to the doctor for his opinion praying all the way.

Indeed my result did not look good to me but my doctor, the specialist, had his own computation and reference and he says I can have my chemo as scheduled but I just have to take vitamin for my liver. I was happy!

I had my chemo and during his rounds he explained that he already anticipate the lowering of the results, it is part of the chemo process as the medicine targets the fast growing cells which are the cancer cells it also targets other good cells, so I just have to continue eating well and doing exercises to ensure that my body recovers for the next cycle.

I thought how it is with God. He has His own standard. he knows our weakness and loves us still. We just have to do the best we can so we experience His healing love.

I have to do my best and believe!
