Diagnosis

So after two days I seen the Hematologist to review my high levels of white counts.  This guy Dr Brady was an awesome dude in my opinion he was optimistic and very fast he squeezed me in on his lunch. He talked to me a little bit about some of the stuff that could be going on with a white blood cell count that high. Dr. Brady also asked about family history of cancer and boy did he get it! He was shocked that I had two aunts and a cousin with breast cancer, another Aunt who had uterine cancer, and my father has a form of Leukemia called CLL which is extremely slow growing form of what I have (not really but kinda close) and he may out live the need to even have treatment. If you think that's allot that's only my fathers side and doesn't extended further than two generations trust me I could keep going. My Grandfather on my mothers side had three types of cancer one of which was Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma the rest I will update as soon as I hear more on that. But back to the the appointment with Dr. Brady he told us that he would do another set of blood work (as I was expecting he would) but here is the nerve factor for me  he could review it himself and look at the shmears and have a primary diagnosis in about 15 minutes (I think I was more nervous finally knowing! talk about 15 minutes of nervous hell. I thought I would get a chance to go home and just wait it out over the weekend time to prepare myself. When he came in I was fidgeting so bad im surprised he didnt expect a seizure disorder! it looks extremely like ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) and he was getting me a Bed down in Geisinger Medical Center Danville Pa immediately SURPRISE!!! I was nervous, couldn't eat or drink and it didn't really hit me until the quick run back home to pack some things up!
We got checked into Bush Pavillion 8 (the hematology/oncology and bone marrow center) about 9pm on Thursday where they started me on normal saline and a medicine called allopurinol which they give to patients who may be receiving chemotherapy to reduce there uric acid "Chemo can actually break down alot of uric acid in the body and affect the kidneys). its was a long day a long drive and I had been up for about 27 hours by the time i got settled in it was bed time busy day tomorrow (Friday).
