Leukemia Awareness Month

September is National Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month

Darlene and I were treated to a gorgeous sunrise on the way to clinic.

Without an appointment, Darlene stopped by the Blood Group.  The 7:45 patient didn't show, so she slipped in for her 4th donation and gave 2 bags of platelets. (Notice who is wearing orange in support!). Thanks, Lil' Buddy!

See the guy in the background of Darlene's photo? It was his 200th donation. He doesn't even donate on behalf of a patient. Wow. You know me, I had to go over and disturb him to thank him.

According to the mid-level, I have clinic 8am Wednesday, and expect to check into the hospital on Thursday for round 4 of chemo (cycle 2B). I still don't have a transplant schedule. Urgh. But it was a holiday and my regular mid level was not working.

In preparation for Thursday's chemo, I will bring home a sodium bicarbonate fluid bag with a pump and be hooked up for 24 hours before they infuse the chemo. Yay... My BFF will be back.  The fluids are to protect my organs during the chemo. (And give me fat feet.)

Happy Labor Day!  This is me "shopping" at Tanger! I think I need bigger sunglasses. <<sarcasm!

When I got home, Mary and Ross stopped by and brought me home made steak fajitas. So yummy! It was also such good timing since Kent had just left for a first flight celebration lunch. One of these days I will be able to go out to eat again.

Until then, I will be happy at home.
