Round 5 Postponed

I was scheduled to begin Round 5 of chemotherapy treatment this week. Unfortunately, I picked up a cold on Sunday, currently with a sore throat, laryngitis and body aches. It won't be a good scenario, if it moves into my chest or I start having fevers. As it is, starting another round of chemo when I'm sick would be a recipe for disaster. I talked with my doctor and he has delayed Round 5 for a week. Bummer to be sick. Bummer to have to delay chemo.

My sister flew in from Indonesia to be with me this week while I was in chemo. She is scheduled to leave Sunday. Thus, she will be able to help me out while I'm sick, but I will need help next week while I'm in chemo. I guess the universe is going to force me to accept help from others, besides Dan or my sisters! That's not something I'm good at. If I get well in time for chemo next week I will need help, yes, that's right, need help-May 6 through 9 for sure. Picking me up and driving me to UW, keeping me company during chemo, bringing me home, pet chores, cooking meals, oh my gosh, the list goes on, basically taking care of me. If you're interested, please send me an email to my yahoo address. Please, please, realize this is incredibly hard for me to not only ask for help, but then to accept it. I need to know that I'm not inconviencing you, that I'm not adding to an already overscheduled day. Thanks for your sweet understanding.
