Bad Day
Today has been a not so good day. I had an appointment in Atlanta this morning at 8:30 am. Gross. First I went to the lab for blood tests. My blood counts were very good. The doctor was very pleased. Then on to see the doctor. It was a quick visit, but she cleared me and said I look great. Then the hard part came. I knew that I was going to be having chemo today and a bone marrow biopsy, but they surprised me with a spinal tap/lumbar puncture. My spinal fluid was clear which is what you want. :) When they did my biopsy they had to pull several times so I am in quite a lot of pain. I am going to be spending my afternoon and evening being a baby. :) I'm very excited because my entire family will be here in Macon with me this weekend. I can't wait to see them all. I have another appointment in Atlanta on Tuesday morning. I will be meeting with my doctor and his P.A. to work out my treatment plan. We thought we would have that today, but we have to wait on the results from the biopsy. So be praying for good things in my marrow. The harder it is for them to see the cancer cells the better. :)

Little Beez, we're rejoicing along with you that you are responding so well to the treatment. Even when the going gets pretty tough, as it was today, remember that you're in many thoughts and prayers each and every day. And, Bri, please tell your mom that she's in my prayers also.

I'm not sure when it will be, but I'm going to do my best to try to visit you next time I come down to Macon.
Good luck with everything, I hope the biopsy went well, and I'm sorry it's so painful. Until recently, I was in pretty much constant pain because of something wrong with my back, so I know how absolutely awful it is to hurt so much all the time.
Feel better, and I hope I can get down to Macon soon.
