Bone marrow biopsy went well on Friday.  It didn't hurt at all while the pathologist did the procedure, thanks to good drugs.  I was sore afterwards, and very tired, it felt like I got kicked by a donkey in the hinder. It's pretty ok now, I was able to go to the gym today and work out on the elliptical and run a mile on the treadmill.  It felt good to exercise, and I need to keep it up so I can stay in relatively ok shape.

Wednesday is my surgery for my port placement.  I got a call from the pre op nurse today, to ask me the now routine questions prior to any procedure or surgery I have at the hospital. She asked me the question, "how many surgeries have you had in the past?". Funny, I had none prior to September 7, and now by this Wednesday, I will have had 3.  And every nurse that asks about my past medical history, always remarks "you are so healthy, besides this darned thing you're going through".  Yes, I knooooooow.  That's why it's so frustrating! 

My 2 dr appts are on Thurs and Fri, too.  We will hopefully be making a somewhat easy decision on who to go with this weekend, and I may begin chemo next week?!  The sooner, the better.  Maybe it will all feel real by then? I read a few posts on a lymphoma forum that I just joined, and it looks like my first chemo treatment could last between 6-8 hours. Wow. Good thing I have so many tv shows to catch up with on Hulu already, it looks like I'll need something to pass the time away.  I wonder if Jimmy John's delivers to the cancer center? Subs so fast you'll freak the poor cancer patients out of their BarcaLoungers.

So, I'm sure you'll all be reading more by the end of this week, I will update as soon as I can re: the surgery and the dr appointments.  Keep up with the prayers and positive vibes, it is helping so much, I can feel it! Thank you, thank you!!
