Chemo delayed until Tuesday...

So yesterday we saw Dr. Lasker (oncologist) and he scheduled for my mom to have chemo today after her Dr.'s apt. with Dr. Beardan to check her port and her scar from removing her lymph node.  The head nurse wanted us to call her if we thought we couldn't make it until after 12 b/c the  pharmacist leaves at 12 and they needed to make sure that her chemo was mixed up to get it.  Well today while we were waiting on Dr. Beardan to come in the room I called at 11:15 to let them know he would be in the room in a minute and we would be there before 12 and they said well we need to reschedule her chemo treatment for Friday or she can just start Tuesday when she is scheduled for her actual 2nd round! I thought UGH what in the world  r u crazy she needs to start TODAY!!!!! But u know things happen for a reason and we just said we would wait until Tuesday when she sees Dr. Lasker so now we are scheduled for her 1st round Tuesday...  When we saw Dr. Lasker yesterday he told us that she would have a small dose of chemo to start off and when she finishes her radiation he will start her on a stronger dose.  Just continue to keep us in your prayers!
