roadapples 6,983 #1 Posted November 22, 2019 Wasn't sure I was gonna' do this but I may be absent for a while. Lost Mother back in May a month before her 99th birthday. She had a pretty good life and didn't have any pain. Miss her a lot but life goes on. Fast forward to October. Six month check up and annual blood test. Blood test was off so more tests including bone marrow. (The plot thickens) Results not so good. Acute Leukemia... So heading for Hershey Medical Center Sat. morning to start chemo treatments. I feel great. No idea anything was wrong until blood test. What ever the future holds I haven't missed much. Dr. says seven straight days of chemo really brings you down and infection is a big concern. Been getting blood test Mon, Wed, and Fri for the last two weeks in case I need a transfusion until they could get me into Hershey. Dr said after chemo we could talk about stem cell transplants..... Anyhow, lots of unknowns. I'll update when I can. Hope to see you all in June.. Jay 1 1 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
