I had a long day at the hospital Friday and I wasn't up to posting until tonight. I saw my oncologist and inquired about options if the radiation doesn't work. The plan has always been to have a mini transplant. The mini would involve using my sisters bone marrow not my own like last time. There is a question about doing a mini considering my liver complications last time - it would definitely be high risk. Also the mini itself if high risk. Essentially my oncologist said I would ultimately have to weigh the pros/cons myself and make the decision. Also in his view the mini is the only way to a cure and everything else is just treatment.
This is all just info to consider if I have to compile a plan B. God damm this radiation HAS to work. I don't want to go down the plan B route at all. The entire visit just shook me up a bit. It has me thinking way to far down the road and I need to return to the moment, live for the day, and push all this stuff aside.
I did get to see an old friend from my days back in Atlanta and the Boys & Girls Club. It seems like yesterday that Dave and I were hanging out without a care in the world. Skip ahead to 3 kids and cancer....boy how life can change.
Back to the hospital next week for 5 more radiation treatments. 3 down and 17 more to go.
Have a great weekend.
