Biopsy Done

Hi,
I had the biopsy and a unit of blood. My doc (Dr. Douvas) did a great biopsy. This is not a walk in the park but he made it tolerable. Best. Biopsy. EVAH!
Can you tell I've had blood?
I get another unit tomorrow and then I wait for the biopsy results. No one has a clear idea of how to proceed until we get this info- so we wait. Hopefully not more than 2 weeks.
Sigh.
Happy Halloween. Thomas was Hei Hei, the chicken from Moana. Pretty freekin cute.
Take care,
Beryl

Boy vs girl

Hi,
I just finished my last chemo of this cycle. Good. I got my results back from the doc and my girl cells are up from 50% to 75% and my boy cells (donor) are down to 25%. My Doc (Dr. Douvas) has scheduled me for a bone marrow biopsy this coming Monday so we have a clearer idea of what's going on. The Chemo should be bringing the boys back but the reverse is happening.
argh,
B

bloody mcblood blood

hi,
things went fine with chemo last week- my hemoglobin tanked the following week. I'm 2 bags low this time. I'm at uva now getting transfused. My doc thinks its chemo side affects and that I should be patient. So I am.
on the drip,
