This is Pauline, Boone's wife. Every year on or near his birthday, he has his annual physical. His doctor told him that he had "Immature blood cells" and referred him to a hemotologist. To Boone's great surprise when he arrived for the appointment, the hemotologist was an oncologist. They drew blood and the Oncologist, Dr. K, wanted to know why I was not with him. Next visit he said, I better be there. A month later, we went to the appointment. Blood was drawn. Dr. K. said it could be a couple of things, and ordered a bone marrow biopsy. On the 3rd month, we heard the diagnosis of CMML.

 DAY OF THE MEETINGS

Yesterday I turned 60.  Some friends came by and we went to dinner at a most excellent restaurant.  Best creme bru lei I ever had.  A good time was had by all.

Today was meetings all day.  Met with the transplant coordinator, dietition, pharmacist, etc.  Lots of information.  Nothing really to pass on.

Dinner tonight with some other friends, one of which is a world class cook.

On the whole not a bad day.

PS from Dinner:  Lady G made a breaded veal so thin it covered the entire plate.  Not one crumb was left.  Soooooooo Good.  Thank you.
