It’s a down time right now, meaning I don’t have a long list of appointments for the next four days. This week, my doctors did an MRI, a spinal tap, an ultrasound and some other smaller tests. They will meet with me on Monday for a "data review conference" to determine if I am ready for the big plunge into neutropenia (no white blood cells) next Monday. That’s when they will kill the bone marrow, then bring it back with my previously extracted stem cells two days later.
That’s the plan but things change rapidly. Hopefully the data review will demonstrate that it will be okay to proceed as planned and that my treatment will not have to take some sort of detour. Was the cancer killed off enough to proceed? Did it get into my spinal fluid? Those are the things I wonder these days. I'll let you know on Monday.
Until then I may indulge myself with a little roof top banjo playing. I'll let you know how that works out. Happy almost weekend.
Mike
You are always welcome to play your banjo here. My neighbor has just decided to house goats in her yard and I'm sure they would like to harmonize with whatever you're playing
