Yes, it has been a while again, but I warned everyone.
Last Thursday Sept. 29th marked day 100 since my second stem cell transplant and so it was time for me to take all the tests to see how things are going. Patty and I went to St. George wednesday evening and then got up thursday morning so I could go give about 7-8 vials to the lab. Then I went across the hall to get some full body X-rays to see if any more bone damage is happening. Then in the afternoon I had an appointment with a pulmonary specialist to check to see if the Chemo has effected my lung and breathing like sometimes it can. Then we got to go get something to eat since they didn't want me to eat before the pulmonary tests.
Friday morning I had an appointment with Dr. Te to get another bone marrow biopsy in my hip to get an accurate reading on what's going on inside of me. I like to get knocked out for these, so after waking up at Dr. Te's, Patty took me back to Coral Canyon to sleep for most of the day. After I woke up I had to go back to the lab one more time to give them a couple more samples for the testing.
Now we wait. Some of the tests take nearly a week to get the results and so I believe that sometime this week I will get contacted by LDS hospital to arange for a quick trip up to Salt Lake to the the results of all the tests and get the plan for maintenance for me over the next year or so.
We got up Saturday and came back to Vegas. We enjoyed a good conference weekend and always enjoy hearing the messages given.
I'm feeling real good and my hair is growing very quickly. We are looking forward to hearing some very good news so we can get on with getting back to a little more normal life. We do thank everyone for their continued support during this time in our life.
Until the results come in.
