More tests, feeling bad again.

Well, another series of tests, mixed information.

First of all, I was feeling quite well about 10 days ago, went back to work, but then started feeling very weak again. In fact, while on Labor and Delivery last weekend, I got a bit disoriented, not a good thing when I am on call for deliveries, C-sections, etc.

When this happened I told my doc, he ordered an MRI of my head which didn't show much to be concerned about (ie, no lymphomas in my brain). I'm still somewhat weak, so am on a leave of absence for a couple of weeks until we get this stuff sorted out. I'm going to see the Heme/Onc doc tomorrow which should answer, hopefully, a lot of questions.

I had my CT scan today and the results are back already; nothing very specific. Certainly no large lymphomas, though there are several non-specific findings of small but slightly enlarged lymph nodes along the aorta and one in the liver. We'll see what my Heme/Onc doc, Dr. Koester, says about that tomorrow.

My white count went up again; as of Monday it was 27,000! I kinda wish it would trend down for a change. My liver functions and other tests are completely normal now.

Kathy is still doing pretty well for having had major surgery 1 week ago.

That's all for now. We'll be in touch.
