Oncologist Visit

This morning I had my blood work and oncologist visit. My blood work is good for chemo tomorrow. My hemoglobin was 122 last time and is 119 this time. Once again, if it ever gets below 90, I'll need a blood transfusion. They also checked the oxygen in my blood and it is at 97 out of 100. That is really good too. The reason they checked my oxygen is that I mentioned I cough the odd time when I turn to lay on my side. They said the cough might be caused from having fluid in my lungs. They didn't seem too concerned.

My visit with the oncologist when well. I let her know that this last cycle was much better than the previous couple. In other words, I felt much better and had more good days. The research nurse said I looked better and sounded better. I told them I needed a good cycle ... mentally I was pretty down in December and January.

Yesterday I felt so good, I actually did some house work. I vacuumed, I dusted and oiled the furniture. I haven't done dusting and oiling for months. My sister who is a nurse said ... the fact that I even wanted to do house work is a good thing.

Today I picked up my meds for the next cycle ... I also stopped at the U of A Hospital to pick up my prescription of Heparin, syringes and needles. I was told there were meters right outside the hospital ... I didn't know ... parking is now a breeze.

Today I had a really nice lunch with a friend. We chatted for over two hours.

I'm off to do school work ...
