My leukemia's back.

Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine! Blessings to all of you. I pray he gets out of danger, and it will give you all a very good reason to be happy and grateful on Christmas day.

Thanks so much.

And I agree!

Today, Dh overheard me telling my cousin I didn't want to go for all the testing on the date they scheduled me to have them done. In all the years I've been going through this, he's never once heard me complain about going for testing, until today. He insisted I call them, and cancel. I did. I asked if they had something available in Jan. that I could get them done back-to-back, instead of having to wait a couple hours in between tests. I was scheduled to go in at 8:00 a.m., and wouldn't get finished up until around 5:00 p.m. Nope, nothing open for Jan. I suggested she look at Feb. She said it was not looking good, but to let her keep looking. I suggested March, and she delayed in her response, so I told her if she couldn't find anything, not to worry, I would call the cancer center at the university, and schedule the tests there, or Lee Moffitt cancer center. Suddenly, there was an opening in Jan., and yes I can get the tests done back-to-back. I go in at 7:30 a.m., and I'll be out by noon. I am so relieved!

@Alaskan don't know what to say other than we're all pulling for your dad (and your mom and you and the rest of the family). Keeping you in thoughts and prayers

P.S. I would have thought the same thing...no news is good news. Take it easy on yourself.

 

[N F C]

Yes, that was it, I was a bit nervous. It wasn't bad at all! They do go easy at first. Said they need to take it easy for now because all that the surgeon had to do in there. That's ok by me. I go back on Friday.

Cynthia, glad it wasn't too hard for you!

I want comfort food....
but spouse is gone for a week and so can't cook for me.


Oh... I just realized, that since spouse is gone
I need to BOTH drop off and pick up kids from scouts...

Maybe I will grab food while I wait...

Eat alone?

Sheesh!!! I was thinking a treat of a grocery store frozen food product!

Crap.... I might have to look at humans for more than 5 minutes at a stretch.

You couldn't have DS1 drive them??

That is DISGUSTING!
"Oh my, we will not make a shit-ton of money for these tests, better open a spot". I guess the university or cancer center are some distance? If not I'd tell the place you are going to pound sand. And make sure whoever is in charge there knows why. There wasn't a sudden cancellation while you were on the phone.

Good morning Team Rachel. Al, sounds like the surgery went well. Thanks for the updates. I have several tests coming up on the 20th. Normally tests are just routine to me. This time is different. I'm apprehensive, and slightly dreading having to go have them done. I'm not sure why. Maybe because they were originally to be done after the first of the year, but they got moved up, and are now intruding into my Holiday time.

Sounds like a good plan for you getaclue! The grandkids would probably enjoy that.
