Life is an Adventure Part 1

Life is certainty an adventure.  One that rarely disappoints.  That is, if you life long enough to live through it.  If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you should know by now that I am cursed with the dreaded “C” word, Cancer.  I have what is known as CML.  Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.  I was diagnosed with CML back in February, 2014, Valentines day to be exact.  Since my diagnosis, I have been on three different types of oral medications, the preferred form of chemotherapy for this type of Leukemia.  Each one with it’s own faults.  With each medication, it would start off working but for some reason the med would stop working and I’d be left with months of trying different dosages trying to find a happy medium.  When this last drug bit the dust, my oncologist gave me the dreaded news that he would be deferring me to another oncologist, one who specializing in bone marrow transplants.  At this writing, I have an appointment this Friday with an oncologist at another hospital.  However, this doctor is not part of the transplant team.  So, I’m somewhat concerned as to why I’m seeing him.

This is the end of Part 1.  Part 2 will come after the meeting with this new oncologist.  If things go according to the way I think, I will be going through the transplant soon.  I’m not sure when but I know it will be soon.  Donors will have to be found,  tests will have to be run and so forth.  I will keep this blog going as long as I feel like blogging.  Pray for me during this time._2TH1271_tonemapped

First of all as of today I’ve been “Blogging” for two years.  Never thought that would happen.  Secondly, I’ve been too negative lately in my posts and I apologise for that.  It’s for that reason I won’t be posting things about work for a while.  I will simply have to find another outlet for my frustrations.

This past weekend I had about two hours that I was able to spend with my wife.  Normally while at the house, she has her papers that she has to grade while I’m either on the computer doing emails or watching television.  Either way we’re not doing anything together.  I’ve found that we have nothing in common when it comes to watching television.  In order for us to spend any time together we’re simply going to have to get out of the house. That way it’s just her and I and we’re “forced” to spend time together.

Thanks for following me!!

Went to the my oncologist last Wednesday.  He was not happy with my last results that was taken over two months ago. BCR ABl test results was .73% which I thought was pretty good until he told me it HAD to be down to zero and had to be within the first six months.  I was diagnosed in February so six months would make it in July.  I’m currently waiting for the doctor to call me to tell me what my results were last week.  If it’s not zero then I’m going to have to get on some other type of meds.

I don’t do this or any other blog for followers but just to be able to get things off my chest.  As I am honored to have each of you follow me I am somewhat surprised to see some what I would call super bloggers that are following me.  I’m really glad to have each and everyone of you on board.
