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.

SO FAR SO GOOD, AGAIN

Today they ran the photopheresis and it came off without a hitch so I get it tomorrow and then the plan is three days a week. The whole thing takes about two hours and I have to wear sunglasses afterwards. Maybe all the time after I've had a few. I'll have to ask about that. Nothing else new. Just see how this works. I'm back on NPO but I did talk Dr. S out of popsicle, just one. He said he guess I'd earned it.
Can't think of anything new to tell. Maybe that's good thing.
