This is my blog about my medical journey through Lymphoma. I was diagnosed April 11, 2006. Currently, I am in remission with a high chance of cure. It was non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The tumors ended up being in my hip, my sternum and my backbone. I have left the blog up for anyone to read, and I also use it to remember all I went through. Because of all the drugs and stress, some of it is foggy, so it is fun to go back and see what I went through!

Potassium Potatio

Last night I slept all night then got up for an 8:30 appointment back at the needle demon office. They had to get me another IV so they could give me some additional potassium. They also gave me a sutbcutaneos shot of Neulasta, which is a White Blood Cell Growth Factor.

Then, I went back to the Fuller's tub and pool and kept on with my light drug haze sleeping on and off and most important...no vomitting.

I'm SO GLAD you aren't vomiting! Yay! but based on what you just wrote, you may feel like cancer's just taking over your life right now, but keep your mind on other stuff. especially when you're waiting in the hospital (which you'll do a lot) , bring people with you to keep you occupied or read interesting (geek computer) magazines or write or listen to music. as hard as it may be, forget the cancer, forget the hospital, focus on the future.
