November 29, 2016.. I forgot to add to the post last night I had to get a unit of blood. My hemoglobin was too low (8.0). That increased the time we were in infusion so were there for over 6 hours. 
We are sad about hearing about the damage from fire in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We can see live updates on WBIR and WATE tv in Knoxville. 
I have a PET scan this morning, treatment after that and then an MRI at 4pm. I will update the blog tonight with any information of today.

I got the tests completed I was scheduled for today and we got back to the apartment just a little after dark. Seems like these days at MIRT get real long at times. We got there at 8:45 this morning and have to be there at 8 in the morning. I have the bone marrow biopsy starting then and should finish with all the tests about 5 pm or later tomorrow with an echocardiogram at the end. We are then scheduled to see the doctor on Thursday at 1 pm. 
I think I mentioned my regular doctor will not be here. Another doctor will be seeing his patients while he is gone. I hope I get a future treatment plan from his replacement that I think is the best plan I can be on. I might have to try to make some arrangements to see my doctor when he gets back. That would require us to spend an additional 6 or 7 days here in order to do that. The earliest I could see him would be next Wednesday. Hopefully the doctor replacing him, will give me a treatment plan that I think is adequate.
