I'd be sad, but I'm too mad!
When I read your post, my heart wanted to sink into sadness for you, but I got so mad about it, that's all I could do. Darn, darn, darn. More delays! Well, maybe you have to wait a bit more, but I'm betting everything will get fixed up for you. My heart beat like crazy fast while I was on Navelbine and Herceptin. Kept thinking it would just pop out of me! I don't know one thing about the pleural effusion but I love that they are attacking it quickly. Tonya, I know your count is low and you're sick. So is that why they are doing the transfusion? Your counts are really low?
I just want to stand and scream to that ol' set of lungs and heart to shape up, "the lady has a life to live and an adorable family to love on"!
You're tough, Tonya, and full of purpose! Get determined to have your way in all this, girl! I'll be thinking wonderful thoughts for ya and praying for the doctors to be wise and creative with their care for you. Tons of love being sent your way today & all the upcoming ones as you win your battle. ma
