Flash Update!

No chemo until Monday!

My appointment for tomorrow had to be delayed because I have to have the Neulasta shot 24 hours later, and the office is not open on Saturdays to administer it. This is fantastic! I could practically kiss Aetna.

So tomorrow, which is supposed to be a beautiful day (not to mention the last weekday of spring break), I'm free! Ken can go to his reenactment without worrying about me, and I can take the kids somewhere fun, enjoy the weekend. The new gym I joined is opening tomorrow, so I can check that out, too.

Oh yeah: my dad's advocate friend got me answers in about ten minutes. She found out that as long as the shot is administered in the doctor's office it's covered 100%, no copay. You probably figured that out during the first paragraph, but I figured I'd throw it in there just in case.

I already took my steroid pills today, but I'll have another steroid day on Sunday. Maybe I'll put off the cleaning for now, and go for a run instead. By the way, I was planning to delay my 4th and final treatment to the following Monday or Tuesday because of Mother's Day and the Komen Walk, so this just puts me on a clearer track to do that. It doesn't interfere with my end date at all, still slated to be May 11 or 12.

Yay!
