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.

Finally got a call from a Dr. Barton, an Oncologist at one of our local hospitals.  I’ve got an appointment at 9:30 am on Thursday of this week.  Now I am a very impatient man and the thought of having to wait until Thursday is about to drive me nuts.

We’ve been having some crazy weather.  We were supposed to get some ice and snow today but it was a no show but now they are predicting more ice and snow for tomorrow night and I’m willing to bet that my appointment will be cancelled due to the weather.

I’m trying not to worry about what could be wrong with me and the thoughts of me having some sort of cancer is scaring me to death.  I’ve got two beautiful teenage daughters and a 20 year old son that I’d like to see grow up.  I’m beginning to doubt that now. Don’t know why because all I’m going on is speculation.  I’ve got a lot of people praying for me so I hope nothing is seriously wrong.

More to come when I know something.

Every six months I go to the doctor and let them check me over as I’m a diabetic.  Two weeks prior to my doctor visit I go to the lab and let them draw blood so that when I go to the doctor he has everything in front of him.  I went to the lab last Tuesday, 2/4/14 and on Wednesday the next afternoon the nurse called and said that my CBC’s were highly elevated.  She wanted to know if I was sick, running a fever or otherwise in any discomfort.  I told her I felt fine.  The nurse then said that it was probably a lab error but wanted me to do another lab session.  I went Friday morning and did another lab session and by Saturday night I got another call.  Lab work showed high elevated levels of CBC’s again.  Now I’m expecting a call on Monday from an Oncologist.  Hell, I didn’t know what a Oncologist was until my wife looked it up for me.  It’s a cancer specialist.  Now I’ve got something else to worry about.  

I’ll post more when I find out more.
