CMML, BMT, & ME

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.

PART TWO

H and R just left from a nice long visit. Kathi is at home comforting Tweak who is all confused. No chemo today just installing the PICC, Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter and IV of some anti-seizure meds. Chemo starts tomorrow afternoon. Except that I can’t get DirecTV Everywhere to work on my laptop I am doing quite well. I guess actually getting started takes some of the stress out of it. Of course my opinion on that may turn ninety degrees tomorrow afternoon. Sleep well all. I’ll try and do the same.

UPDATE: Chemo starts at 6AM. Two hours and twenty-two minutes from now. At least maybe I'll be tired enough to sleep through it
