JD & his girl friend Tia (no germs allowed!)I just finished my fourth week of chemo, nothing like having battery acid and Drano cursing through my body. My hair is still intact but getting thinner by the day,yesterday was very sad as my hair was literally blowing away I was out side talking to a friend when the wind blew and a big chunk of my hair flew in my friends face! My Blood counts are down so I bruise and bleed easily. Friday night I was loading the dish washer and cut my thumb just a little cut but it wouldn't stop bleeding, so I had to go to the hospital to get it cauterized. I think I might need to wear a bubble suit, does any one want to volunteer to make me my very own bubble wrap suit?
I need to clarify a couple of things I am not going to have a Bone Marrow transplant. We are doing a clinical trial were I take high doses of Cyclophosphamide(chemo)after 60 days they add a growth factor medicine to stimulate my Bone Marrow. Monday I have to have a Colonoscopy to see if they can figure out why I am still bleeding in my GI system. We thought they found the problem last month when they found the malignant tumor in my stomach. But I am sure they'll solve the problem soon, and no this is not related to the Aplastic Anemia.
Please keep us in your Prayers on Monday that the Doctors will find the problem. I am sure some of you heard rumors that Johns health is not doing great, those rumors would be correct. John was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes he apparently has had it for awhile as he has some damage to his heart, when they get his blood pressure down they will be able to do a stress test to see what needs to be done there. I know a lot of you are thinking that we have the worst luck ever, but I don't see it that way. We have been very blessed through out these trials and afflictions I have grown closer to my heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, i have made friends with people I may not have other wise. Thank-you to the members in our ward who bring in dinner and serve us in so many ways. Thank you to my friends Shari and Trina who come and clean my house every week. I am great full for all of my Friends and family who keeps us in your prayers and I can't forget my two Dads and little sister who do so much for me!
Take care and God Bless
