I am not sure how many individuals know that I been in the
hospital; but, I had to spend two weeks in the hospital. The infection that was causing my leg to
swell 4 times its size was not an infection at all.
Some may know I spent 2 ½ month in Jacksonville, FL in 2013 to
get a stem cell transplant. Other
situations happened because of the transplant. I had a blood clot in the neck
and got Pneumonitis; so, I have been on oxygen since them.
I never discussed it but in the back of my mind I worried
about using my own stem cells. The doctors states that Chemotherapy would take
care of that situation. Since I had more than one type of Non-Hodgkin’s
Lymphoma why are they using my own?
Well, to get to the point; the Lymph nodes in my stomach have
Large B-cell Cancer and was pushing on the arteries in my leg which was cutting
off the blood to flow. So the Cancer is back and only because I was
hospitalized the insurance (AETNA) approved a PET Scan which we been asking for
a year and half shows the cancer in the lymph nodes chest and in the nodes in stomach have
cancer. Hey did chemotherapy in the
hospital and the leg made a massive improvement; so, I was able to go
home.
So, starting on Tuesday February 24th, this will be
my schedule Lab, Office visit, Chemo for 6 hours. On Wednesday chemo for 8
hours and then Friday Lab and shot. Plan will be to do this for two weeks a
week off for 3 months and do another PET to see if it worked.
Post a blog will be difficult with vision problems etc.; but, will try to set up things ahead of time.
