Fucking platelets

9. Hey there

Followed you from the other thread. I go see my CLL specialist next week at UCSD. I'm always a wreck and my husband and I are usually on the verge of divorce before we get there! Not really, but it IS stressful.

How did your chemo go? I had a BMB done at the beginning of last year and my bones now are impacted with 60% crappy cells. When I was first dx'ed in 2007, they were 30%. So Dr Castro said we'd have to do something probably soon. Well, here it is in November, so I'll prolly need another one - they're really no big deal. I've been on W&W all this time. When they were handing out shitty immune systems, I got the short straw. Everything I get is chronic, oh joy. Also have Sjogren's Syndrome - now that's a bitch!!

I had emergency brain surgery this past May (unrelated to the CLL - a mengioma that grew out of control - some "atypical" cells appeared, another story for later). So, when I went down last June, the doc said just to recover from the surgery and I was supposed to see him last August. Talk about procrastinating! I'll start my own thread soon, didn't mean to hijack yours!

So how did it go? Take good care, Jennifer
G'nite all...
