Day 42

Thursday June 13^th, 2013

I had a great day at work today with the exception of losing my cribbage trophy defending my championship. I’ll get it back.

I got a lot to do when I get home so I’m ready for Friday morning. It’s like packing for a mini vacation, but you’re not really going anywhere. Well I’ll tell ya when I’m done with all of this I’m taking a real mini vacation cause I’ll need it.

I’m feeling really good about tomorrow, very excited about the Pet scan results and my blood work. I got some questions ready for my Dr.

The few things that I really want to know are:

1). How long will I be on meds?

2). How long will I need to take Prilosec? (some of the steroids cause heartburn)

3). How long will it take after the chemo is all done to get my immune system back to normal?

4). What tests can be done to check if someone has Lymphoma or is at risk of Lymphoma?

Some of the other tests like the Echo CT will show what effect the treatment has had on my heart. I’m not sure when I go for that test.

By the looks of it I’m halfway through it. If everything goes the way that I’ve been told I’ve got 5 days of chemo left, which I start today followed by 16 days off and then 16 days of radiation bringing the total days left to a whopping 37 days not counting recovery if any, after the radiation.

Well pretty boring stuff, but the next week will be more interesting to read.

See ya tomorrow.
