Chemo delayed again!

Jeremy's ANC slightly increased to 678, still not high enough for chemo. He will have blood drawn on Wednesday. Hopefully it will be high enough for chemo on Thursday. This is the third delay for his chemo. We are a little frustrated that this is not going as "planned". We are hoping to be finished with chemo by the end of July, so that Jeremy will have a month to recover before school starts. We are realizing that he is still vulnerable and complications may arise. During these last weeks of chemo the body gets tired and it may take longer to recover, especially for the bone marrow to continually make new blood cells. If Jeremy continually struggles with a low ANC, it will make for a challenging summer. It delays his chemo, which delays the end of treatment (he still has to complete all of his chemo treatments). He is more susceptible to infection and illness, so we can not take him to church or other public places, and he can not have play dates. It also makes him feel tired. Jeremy was not put out that chemo was delayed! I told him no chemo today maybe on Thursday and he cheered "yippee"!
