jaimee had a wonderful time today despite the bone marrow tests...
dr armenian and nurse practitioner debbie were joking around and making the whole situation a lot less stressful for us...they said they wanted to do the first synchronized bone marrow test as dr a did jaimee's right hip and nurse debbie did her left hip...dr a receives a 0 for synchronization but deserves a 10 for performance, he did great for his first time at the city of hope...
jaimee was given two kinds of medications which made her laugh hysterically at every little thing, she even laughed at the discomfort she felt from the bone marrow aspiration...jaimee was saying the funniest things (which i won't mention ;0 )and sang the song from step brothers (thanks mikey)...you had to be there...she was hilarious...
the protocol that jaimee is on has worked well for her...the pet scan showed all but one lump has disappeared ; ) but the bone marrow is still lighting up with the scan which might be from the neulasta...if it's not the neulasta we'll have to discuss what other disease jaimee might have...he'll give us the results on tuesday...
for the next month jaimee will not have to stay in the hospital for chemo treatments but will have long one day treatments twice a week for the next two weeks...no more hospital food...woohoo
we are very happy and proud to be dr armenian's first patient at the city of hope...we can't wait to be his first success story as well, he's wonderful...
we'll up date again after we receive the results from the bone marrow tests...
have a great week end...

Ah, I'm so relieved. I'm glad the protocol is working and I'm praying for complete remission with no sign of any lumps or anything else peculiar.
Hey, no fair! I never got medications that made me laugh at my procedures. I'll most likely have a bone marrow biopsy in April or May... I'll have to find out what they put you on.
Yay!!! No more hospital stays and no more hospital food. After the second straight month in the hospital, I got desperate and started calling in weird orders. Much to my surprise, they honored my request. I ordered shoyu/sugar hot dogs. It tasted great with rice...
Take care and hang in there. Remember, every day you are that much closer to finishing treatments! : )
love, Nancy
