June 7, 2017.. I finished with all the tests today and I am glad. It has been really difficult to get them all completed this time. They even changed the times today from what I posted last night. I had the bone marrow biopsy at 7:30am and finished it about 10am then I had the PET scan at 3:45pm and finished it about 5:15pm. 

I had to get an extra blood draw to rule out my IV port as being a source of infection. I have been running a fever, at times, for quite a while. Monday night it got up to 102.4. Normally, it runs about 99.5 to 100.4. In the meantime, the APN prescribed a Z Pack for me and I have started taking it.

I would like to say a big hello to my dear brother and his wonderful travel companion Shirley. They are now on a tour of England, Scotland and Wales and reading this blog. I was surprised to get a text message from them and surprised, that they, along with others were reading this blog. 

Kathy and Darlene, thank you so much for your nice comments. They really mean a lot to me.

Tomorrow, I see the doctor and find out what the tests reveal and a plan for the future.

Thanks for following along with us.

  1. Jerry, I know you must be really tired, but happy that LR does all the testing. Will be thinking of you two tomorrow, sitting in the room waiting for the results always made me so nervous. Hope you sleep well tonight. Hugs, Darlene
