Delays.... so frustrating

Hey everyone! I've been quiet the last two weeks as I've been in the hospital. I was all set to begin my chemo December 14 when I woke up at 2 in the morning December 13 in horrific pain. My husband took me to the emergency room and they found my gallbladder was incredibly infected and inflamed. I was admitted to the hospital and for 5 days my surgeon attempted with major antibiotics to get the swelling down so we could either delay the surgery to March when I would finish chemo or get it to the point we could do laparoscopic surgery which requires far less healing time. December 18 we bit the bullet and did surgery, I finally got released today. My oncologist said the best time to do chemo is within the first 3 months after mastectomy, that it's the most effective, this gives me enough time to heal that I start ( God willing no more issues) just ten days shy of 3 months. I'm emotionally exhausted, this gallbladder junk came out of nowhere and now it's just nagging away at me that my chemo might not be as beneficial as it could have been. Just really needed a place to vent and share. This was a really difficult Christmas, being apart from my family, they visited a lot but I wanted everything to be as normal as possible for them so told them to go to my parents yesterday etc. I sat in my hospital room and just bawled. Cancer sucks! End rant
