A Real Update

First I want to say sorry for not keeping everyone up to date on what is going on over the past few days. Things have been insane traveling back and forth from Macon to Atlanta. When I was released from the hospital a couple of weeks ago I knew that the rest of this new course was going to be different. I found out quickly how hard. I have spent the last several days very sick, very tired, and very frustrated. My medications have been making me feel crazy and out of control. I don't quite feel like myself anymore. My mind seems just a little behind the rest of what is going on. I call it chemo-brain and hopefully it will pass. On Monday I have surgery. The doctors are putting a resevior in my head. This is so the doctors won't have to keep doing lumbar punctures. I will be in the hospital from the 19th through the next 5-6 days following. My surgery will be on Monday morning and my chemo will start that night. I am going tomorrow to Emory with my family to meet with the Bone Marrow Transplant team, Friday pre-op and then I'll be spending the weekend having Thanksgiving fun with the family. Will share more information after our meeting with the bone marrow transplant specialist.
