Advice about delaying my shot this weekend?

[Vic1967]

This weekend will be my 39th shot.  I have a wedding this Saturday and I am the Florist.  It is the only job I took while in treatment (It's a relative, she already had the date picked...).  Usually Saturdays are hard, mostly just tired and bad brain fog, generally impaired.  My Dr. said it would be o.k. to delay my shot for 24 hours.
I would just like to hear from you that have done this.  I know I should resume my regular schedule next week.
I usually take my injection right before bed on Friday eve.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
(yeah I know,  day after Christmas and a family wedding.....oy vey!)

I would not even for 30 seconds think about changing the tx schedule this late in the

game. I don't think Gandi, the Pope, Mother Theresa, Budda, Mary, Jesus, etc. could

get me off at this point.  Well, maybe I'm going a little too far, but you get the point.

I would not make any modification at this late date. I've found in this treatment you

can't always depend on the doctors or anyone else to make the best decision for you.

For me there would be no questions or regrets later.

Get some people to back you up and help be you hands and feet at the wedding.

If you can't do that just push through anyway and do the best you can.

Don't fix it if it aint broke...We'll all be cheering you on and it'll be just fine.

You have got to make you the priority this time. You have my permission (a perfect

stranger) to be selfish.

Now that's my two cents worth.

On Easter Sunday My Brother In Law was Barbequing for the entire family. I decided to do my shot and “tough it out.” I was looking forward to it all week but was bed ridden.
I never was much of a crier (not that there is anything wrong with a man crying.)
I talked my family into going without me.
I laid in bed and cried all day.

Thanks Trish, you better articulated what I was trying to say.

I agree with Trish77, but I do not believe at all there will be a problem by postponing for a day. I did that for a couple of occasions and my outlook for SVR are good, were still UND 9 weeks post EOT. Of course the odds were with me, being UND by week 4, but nevertheless.

IF you decide to keep your shot where it is - I think you'll be amazed at what you can pull off.  On occasion during treatment, things come up and we need to pull together all our resources and do a bit of the superhuman.  This might be one of them.   I had to do that on two separate occasions over treatment - we got hit with a computer virus and I had to pull about three weeks of 12-14 hour days almost 7 days a week.  I would not have thought that possible but it was an "all hands on deck" kind of situation and I was a lead of sorts so it would have been risky to take a backseat kind of role.   Another time, I suddenly had to take possession of a firearm and take the required course as well - over a weekend, Friday evening and all day Saturday - can't remember now if it was Sunday also.  Had to pass the written and practical when done - a must do sort of situation and failure not an option.   Did quite well, a bit of adrenalin pushing that because I absolutely had to pass.  Imagine someone on interferon and riba loading and unloading a variety of rifles and shotguns. :)

If you decide to stick with your schedule, you can plan to do nothing at all, all day Sunday and push through.  Make yourself lots of lists ahead of time to help you remember things.  Drink lots of coffee.  And just do it.
