I counted 11 appointments at MD Anderson between yesterday and today. Just regular pre-op appointments, scans and tests. I was surprised (and very disappointed) when my Plastic Surgeon informed me that he wouldn't perform surgery on me due to low white blood cell counts. My team later decided to give me a Neupogen shot. This shot was administered in my stomach and is supposed to stimulate bone marrow to help produce more white cells. At this point, I'm scheduled for surgery at 12:30pm tomorrow (June 6th), but first I'll have blood drawn to check my white cell count.
Never (EVER) thought I would pray for higher blood counts, so that I can have a double mastectomy. 😲
I'll update tomorrow if surgery has to be postponed OR in the next week or so, if surgery ends up taking place.
