June 23

So its been stop and go. Last Friday I went and had my blood tests. The blood test showed that my white blood count was low. This would mean that I would have to be careful going out in public. We thought we had more time before this would start happening. I know this second round was really hard. I don't know exactly how to explain it. One time in the hospital I had a weird taste in my mouth. Just stuff like that alot of little things that added up to be alot. So its week 6 soon I will have a CAT scan to see how much its shrunk and this will give them a primary idea about what they will need to remove in the surgery. The surgery is hopefully be in August.

So it was the second chemo. I have recently noticed my hair becomeing loose and being able to pull it out pretty easily. This time seemed to be harder mostly because of how long it was. Three hours for one bag, two hours for the next. I'll write some more once I feel better I'll put more information on.

I feel pretty good, I had a doctors appt. last friday to see if I needed a blood or platlet transfusion. The blood work was ok and I found out about about the bone marrow they took. The bone marrow was negative for cancerous defections everything was normal. Thursday is the planned day for my next admission for chemo, this chemo is planned for a three day chemo Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Then hopefully come home on Sunday afternoon.

My first experience of chemo was fine I only had some nausea the second day of chemo. But first I'll start with the part of the surgery for the marrow aspiration, port so I don't have to get poked every time, and they took some more cells for research. They had to try four times before they got an iv. We got to the hospital at 9:30 am and they didn't take me back for the surgery that was scheduled for 11:30 am, until 2:30. When they first put on the mask for the medicine to put me under it was as if they were tyring to smother me. After that feeling I don't remember much until they had me in the recovery room where my immediate family visited to see how I was doing. They then took me up to my room where my parents left and my sister stayed with me. They gave me the chemo that Thursday night. The only thing that was weird was that my urine was pink. Then again on Friday night. Saturday morning I felt a little bit nausea. But I was happy to finally go home Saturday afternoon. Today I feel real uneasy just with all the holes from the surgry, and just everything. I am just very uneasy about everything.
