For better or worse...

Well, you tell me what you think. I spent almost entire week at MDA doing CT scans, bronchoscopy, blood work and seeing doctors (except Wednesday since it was Raymond's b-day) and here are the news: Thank God I do not have cancer in my lungs; unfortunately, I have an asymptomatic migrating CMV pneumonia (cytomegalovirus) - not a good one. Yesterday my transplant onc mentioned that we caught it early, otherwise it could have become deadly. With that news he sent me straight for a 4 hour infusion in my poor little veins till 11 pm and the next morning (today) I got a new PICC line in my arm - I still hurt emotionally and physically. I tried to be so careful - what did I do wrong? What a payback -- I will be getting daily treatments for a month and have to make trips to MDA every other day (the IV antibiotics affect liver and kidneys so they have to monitor my blood work). So that's the story ... I guess I am not in the hospital and that's good. I am thankful it's not as bad as it could have been -- so Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
