7/3/2010 Treatment Report - Happy 4th of July

We made it up Thursday night to have dinner with Bruce and Cara and Kimberly for Bruce's birthday. Kim came down because she was on the way to the LV airport to fly to Mexico City to join her family which had been in Mexico for a couple of weeks.

Friday we all got up, Patty had to work with a new person at Smith's so she dropped me off at treatment, it was my long treatment where I got the Arida for bone repair and then the nausea, Velcade and then saline to mix it all up. The good news was that the Procrit that I was suppose to get was held back because it had worked so well that my numbers were up to a level they decided I didn't need it. Two weeks earlier my iron had been 27, last week it was 30 and Friday it was 32 which was good. The treatment was about 3 1/2 hours, but it all went well. Patty was still at work, so Bruce and Kim came to pick me up and we went to lunch with Cara.

Kim and I went back to Coral Canyon to wait for Patty to be done working, when she got done and got back, we loaded up and headed to Vegas with Kim. Then we went to dinner with Amanda, Ryan and Matt, showed Kim Matt's new house and then took her to the airport to catch her flight. She had about 10 - 12 more hours of travel ahead of her, hopefully it all went well.

Josh came up last night, Addie was happy to see him. He made pretty good time coming up, and got here safe. He has Monday off so will head back to Phoenix then.

Today we are going over to Amanda's to enjoy the 4th weekend. I'm feeling pretty good, but I am fatigued for some reason, hope not to be a drag on their fun today. I've got one more week of treatment until we take our trip to Salt Lake to check out the facilities for my treatment up there. Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday weekend this weekend.
