Emma Report

Had a busy day yesterday.
Started with a visit to the dermatologist - just a 3 month follow up. I have one mole he wants to keep an eye on but nothing else concerning. I have to go back in 6 months and when I was putting it in my Palm, I realized I will be off the interferon for that next appointment! Very exciting.
Then off to the Tom Baker. I had my monthly blood work done and then an appointment with the oncologist. My blood counts were satisfactory and they will be maintaining my dose at the current levels. She said she was having trouble checking my groin lymph nodes manually due to the scar tissue from the surgery. Hopefully they will order an ultrasound soon to check them out. When I told the onco about my morning cough, she felt it was best to have a chest xray done. So off I went to the lab again for that. Then I picked up my next month's supply of interferon.
So things are continuing at the new "normal". Can't wait until I am done the drugs!

Brokeback Mountain

A rugged cowboy from Brokeback Mountain, Wyoming, goes into the
doctor's office and has some tests run.

The doctor comes back and says, "I am not going to beat around the
bush, You have AIDS."

The cowboy tugs at his Stetson and sets his jaw and says, "Doc,
What can I do?"

The doctor says, "I want you to go home and eat 5 pounds of spicy
Sausage, a head of cabbage, 20 un-peeled carrots drenched in hot
Sauce, 10 Jalapeno peppers, 40 walnuts and 40 peanuts, 1/2 box of
Grapenuts Cereal, and top it off with a gallon of prune juice."

The cowboy squares his rugged shoulders and asks, "Will that cure
Me, Doc?"

"No, but it should leave you with a better understanding of what
Your ass is for."
