Well, I have good news and strange news. I think I'll save the strange for last. So yesterday I go to the doctor and they weigh me and I said oh no! The nurse looked at me and said "what's wrong? Did you gain weight?" I said, "no! I lost 8 more pounds this week they're gonna make me come back to the hospital!"
Well, they didn't make me come back but they did arrange for my GI doctor to see me this week so we can figure out why I'm throwing up all the time.
The doctor gave me great news, they did a bone marrow biopsy last week and they results showed no sign of abnormal cells or my disease. Of course they have no idea if this is permanent so they want to do a low dose of a kinda chemo. It won't make me lose my hair (that really isn't growing back in too well) but it might cause nausea.
So I got new jeans today, grabbed a size 3 sizes smaller than what I bought a year ago. 2 sizes smaller than what I wore in January I looked at them and said these are too small there is no way they'll fit. And they not only fit... they're loose.
So, the strange news... as most of you know, my brother donated the stem cells for my bone marrow transplant so, I basically have his blood in my body. All my own has probably died out or joined with his. So, if you were to run my blood to learn about me I have xy chromosomes, I would appear like a man. But if you check skin, hair, anywhere else I'm still xx.
Kinda creepy to think about. Lol am not half man?
OK, one last thing. I want to know what people do that always draws them closer to their father in heaven?
