Sorry this is such a consolidated blog again. Last sunday I woke up with some drainage around the PICC line and had the home Health nurse come and take a look. Well everything looked alright until later on in the afternoon just looking at it looked bigger and it was when me and mom measured it. I called down to Danville they had me go down to the ER and decided to run some tests. The IV nurse I had looking at it wasnt very concerned and kept saying it just looks bigger to me and mom. Even though me and mom kept explaining it we measured it. This women just wouldn't listen. Luckily the ER doc new what she was doing and decided to order a Doppler (like an ultrasound to see if there are any clots in the arm) They decided to keep me over night and start me on lovenox injections to prevent any new issues. But the plan remained to do my chemo the next day through the PICC and then pull it and send me home. All went as planned and Iwas home by Monday afternoon. this week went well with the shots at home although they freak dad out who thinks that no one should do that crap at home, but dad can't even handle watching doctor shows on TV no matter how unrealistic they are.

Tomorrow is a busy day have to be down there about 8am to do the usual meet and greet with one of my providers and then they will be doing the spinal tap with some methotrexate, The bone marrow biopsy that determines if the induction phase worked out as well as we want it too, and the mediport that goes under the skin in my chest for remainder of treatment. depending on how tired I am tomorrow I will try to update again.

PS. I just realized today marks one month with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. Lets hope tomorrow brings along that Low bone marrow number.
