Hi Folks: Just went for another CT scan yesterday and chemo today. Scan shows incresed node activity but cell count still up. Started Neupogen (large doses) this eve. do it for five days..BUT on Monday Chest line input..Tuesday Stem cell extraction for five days. If my cells are strong enough...They purge them and used them during the transplant. This is set for about three weeks from now if all goes well. Im sorry for all the confusion Chanteyranger, but a lot of it is due to doctors and their changes. Mary...I received your one card I am touched and thank you. I understand there are many but have not seen them as I have been off work. Departmental staff will take me Monday for the line placement and will bring me my mail. Home address is fine Chanteyranger. Im still hanging in there..I can still dress myself in the mornings (**BG) Radiation will zapp a little bit of my memory I am told..."how long do I boil a three min egg**BG) I can see it now. already a lot of the chemo brain is active. I forget where I park my truck. The doctor advised me to take a two week vacation before we start all this. So as a result..I just returned form Mystic Seaport, Prov town R.I. and Ol Bean Town I was completely taken with Mystic. Came home two days ago for my tests. Sooooo Thats the news from here. You all take care..Hi to Rick and Heather, and Hi to all I thank you all for your concern and prayers Warmest Regards Lloyd Jones-Jr. Winters Wages
