Wednesday written on Thursday

Yesterday was busy. Dirk was able to donate a second round of stem cells and we will get a count of that this morning after his blood draw. If his counts are good and they need more he will donate again this afternoon. It gets to be a full day. I had a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, a big needle in the pelvic bone and lots of pressure. After that they tested my lung capacity and function. and finally a CT scan with the barium and iodine contrast checking to see if there is any evidence of lymphoma. We had a full day(there's a theme there). We also managed to list our house for lease with an agent finally. A few more things to do there but on the road. I have only one appointment today and one tomorrow. Monday we get the results of all of this and Dr Khouri will decide whether or not we are ready. If it is yes I start chemo again on Tuesday. Will keep you posted.
