Cancer gave me the finger again

I had my appointment today and it did not go well.  My blood work numbers did show some good things with my liver functions at a good range and my platelets up to 80 from 62.  The rest was downhill.  I failed to mention in my last week numbers update that my tumor marker went up 10 points.  This week it went up 4 more points and sits at 34.  I don't like that the number is going up but I can accept it knowing I haven't had an infusion for two weeks.  What I'm having a problem with is the fact that they cancelled my infusion again this week because of the finger infection.  Plus, to add insult to injury, I have to see the surgeon again in order to take care of the problem.  I will see the surgeon next week Tuesday for a consultation.  There is a chance that if I need a procedure it could be done in his office since only one finger is really bad.  Next week will be a week full of information.  I meet with the surgeon, I have a PET scan and a meeting with the oncologist to review everything that has been going on.  One more thing that has got me a little on edge is the fact that I am getting a cold.  Normally this would not be a problem but, I am told with my immune system compromised by the chemo I have a much higher chance of developing pneumonia from a common cold.  I've said it before and I'll say it again "No one said this would easy."  I have to continue to remind myself how far I have come since the beginning.  Most importantly I must put my trust in God and his plan for my future.  Keep praying and stay tuned!
