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 T+41 – I’M BACK

 

but hardly with a vengeance.  I had to make coffee and then rest from that just to get this far.  At home but still have to be at the DR. everyday about 7:30AM for blood work and IVs.  That will go on for another couple of months or so.

I read somewhere before I got started that sometimes you would be too tired to read.  Hard to believe but true.  I’m very slowly getting better but am still like a new born sick puppy.  But I will write when I can.

I want to, with all my heart, thank each of you for your support.  It means so very much.  I especially want to than my brother and all the friends who help babysit me.  Of course there are not enough possible thanks for Pauline.  I’m pretty sure I’d still be in the hospital without her;  That or dead.

I’ll write again soon.  Gotta recover now.
