This is a better system.

How many people can say they have over $6000 in antifungal drugs in there Danny pack ?

That's some yeast infection.

Someone's like me.

I was back in at the LBMT Thursday afternoon for blood work, hickman line flushing, and news. The good news is that there seems to be a very good chance that they have found a bone marrow match for me.  Dr. Bernard, who gave me the news, said a "95% chance" - mostly to give an out, as there are a lot of things that can go wrong still. I don't know how far along they are in the process with the donor but they are looking at starting the transplant in the next 2-3 weeks, early-mid October.  I will know more shortly after a yet to be scheduled meeting with Dr. Nevill. So, if you are one of the recent people who signed up for the registry, and have been magically called as a match, you might very well be my blood brother/sister so to speak - lol. The coming transplant scares the willies out of me as it will be the most intensive event I have been through in this whole thing, since the start over a year and a half ago.  Any grief, discomfort, etc.  I have been ...

It's Friday Again !!

Ok, so Friday was supposed to be: 8:00 AM Show up and hospital - Get blood taken 8:20 AM Get RVG (Heart Scan) to make sure heart is OK for chemo. 9:00 AM Get platelets for Hickman Line insertion 11:30 AM Get Hickman Line inserted. That's how it went until 11:30... Hickman Delayed Hickman Delayed, 2 PM ish now Hickman Delayed, 4 PM ish now 4:45 They're here to take me to get my Hickman installed. 5:15 They take me into the OR 6:30 They wheel me out to recover, get dressed, and send me on my way. Because I was going to have surgery at 11 AM, they told me not to eat or drink after 6AM. So, I was a bit hungry and thirsty 12 hours later. Worst of all was that since it was late on a Friday, everyone who was anyone at already gone home. I was awake for the procedure, but can only hear, so best I can figure is two med students were left kicking around, and they were given the task. The task of slicing open my main neck vein, shoving in a tube down toward my heart, and then shoving t...

Round 2 - Day 1 - Don't Drink the Kool-Aid

Image
So, it's in. The red goo of doom, the fiery red headed vixen Donna, the breaker of hearts, aka Daunorubicin made it's first of 3 visits today.  Joining her was the ever vigilant clean up man, Cytarabine, aka Ara-C on his first of 5 visits. Together they are blasting away through my body, killing Leukemia cells.  Unfortunatly it's more of a "scorched earth" policy, and they are going to pretty much destroy all the infrastructure on the way.  Much like a team of Blackwater security agents, anyone who looks wrong is probably doing something wrong, and better be delt with.  See, that guy up there, he is yelling at a taste bud who is loitering.   It's not going to go well for the taste bud who is refusing to "move along".  The report will show that the taste bud was I high ranking Al-Qaeda member, and he was found with a IED on/in his person. My platelets were down to 20 today, and they gave me a transfusion.  That comes with a dose of IV Benadryl, ...
