It has been along time since I have posted, so as I wait for the banana bread to come out of the oven, I thought it would be a good time for updates.
I went to the clinic at L.D.S. yesterday and had labs drawn, an MRI on my hip, a lumbar poke with chemo, (the triple threat chemo) and more chemo and steroids to finish my day off.
From the MRI they found bulging discs in my lower back that was causing a pinched nerve. Very painful to walk and sleep, so no heavy lifting for me for a week and the Dr.s are deciding where to send me for management on that. The L.P. came back clean, YEA, and the chemo went in the spine this time. They up ed my dose of Methatraxate again, but are to the maximum that it can go so they can't up it anymore! :) When I got back to the 8th floor I had one more chemo to get through the I.V.(Vincristine)and then we were ready to go. It was a long day in Salt Lake, but I love the staff and my family on the 8th floor. I now go over to Logan Infusion Center for the next two weeks to receive my chemo and love the drive just a little bit better. I am still pressing forward and want all of you to know just how blessed I have been by the little things that everyone is doing to help us out. I don't know how I will ever repay you, but will think of something. My family has become so close and I love them all. Now that the computer is wet from my tears, I will just say one more thing, I love you all!!
