My leukemia's back.

Good morning Team Rachel. I'm hoping everyone has a wonderful day!

I was told to put them in the incubator after they sit for 24 hours, instead of 48, so I'll get them in this afternoon. I'll keep you posted.

I usually wait 12 is all.

I had a few on the OFH tell me to get them in, and don't turn them for a couple days. I've got the bator fired up, everything is go. I'll put the eggs in shortly. Off to cut Dd's hair.

I think everyone has their own method.

After reading how important turning is, I turn the shipped eggs, just very gently. If the air cell is floating all over, I do minimal turning so that the air cell is always sitting in an acceptable spot... in case it decides to freeze in place.

So clearly I incubate upright.

And eggs take SO LONG to get to me... as soon as they are at room temp I put them in the incubator... so I usually let them sit only 4 to 6 hours....

Oops, should have been "for", not go. Oops!

I knew that! Hugs to you Blooie. Loosing Linda knocked the stuffing out of you.

I've been working extra hours, still not got all the garden in. Need to move some fencing around before I can plant the last things. Have a broody hen with eggs due to hatch next Wednesday or Thursday. An other broody setting on golf balls. I'd give her an other clutch of eggs, but don't want her hatching eggs in the middle of our vacation. Had a fire in wood stove last night, supposed to get up to 100* on Monday. Crazy weather!

The eggs are about 4 days old, and that includes the 12 hours I let them sit, so that's not too bad considering. When I candled, the air cells are not attached. They move. I'm not sure that sitting them up is ideal anyway, since I have an R-com, and the eggs lay on their side in it.

They should be fine. R-com has a gentle turner

Went to The Doc today

This one was a Geneticist. My Oncologist Surgeon recommended it. They interviewed me (the intern and Doc), about my family history and asked about cancers they had or if they had had cancer. Also their general health.

Then the Doc got down to why she was interested in my case. Apparently when they Looked closely at my cancer tumor they found that there were certain proteins that were missing. Then she spoke about Lynch Syndrome and that they wanted to analyze my unaffected tissue or blood for missing proteins.

If I am positive meaning they are missing. Next they will analyze My DNA. They want to know which side of my DNA is responsible... Moms side or Dads side. If its Dads side there is a 50 percent chance I passed it on to my son Dean.

Ok here is the skinny Lynch Syndrome is tagged for Cancer risk in other areas of the body. First most is Colon, Second Endometrium, Third is Stomach, Fourth is Ovary... There are six more but I don't fall in the population risk for them....

No matter the results they are going to order a colonoscopy of my colon and a endoscopy of my stomach. Looking for various things like polyps and cancer..... I made the comment about the tests "Wow at the same time? Do the scopes ever meet in the middle...." here comes my fear joking.... "Hey I see a light" The intern giggled.

If I am positive my son will have to be tested to see if he is positive as well and the recommendation is to do the same Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. Only not as often as I will which still doesn't make him a happy camper...

So my Journey continues.... All in all I am very happy I am in the hands of a research hospital.

Anyone 50 and over can get the new better one for shingles

When I had Bells Palsey they recommended a shingles shot. Apparently Bells is caused by shingles... WTF?
