Posponed Scan

Well I had my PET scan bright and early Monday morning and I was scheduled to have my CT scan Wednesday afternoon but their machine was down so I rescheduled for after my trip to Mexico. Oh, I am going to mainland mExico with my Dad and some of his friends to stay with his cousin Erick. He has a beautiful house right on the beach right by a great surf spot called Nexpa. I am sooo exicted. It is going to be 85 degrees with 85 degree water! YAY!! And I will get to surf! So, I will have my CT scan the week of May 7th and I'll be sure to post as soon as I know anything. Tomorrow is the Bone Marrow Transplant Party at the COH and it is for the people and families who have gone through that process. I am very excited, there are supposedly 3000 people coming! It is also a "thank you" party for all the nurses and of course for Dr Forman, the star of the show!

Doctor Visit

I went to City of Hope yesterday for a barrage of check up tests, Pulmonary Function, Chest X-ray, Blood Work, ect. And I had an appointment with Dr FOrman and Barb. They are the best, first of all. Second of all, they had nothing but good things to tell me! I am off the steroids, finally, so my cheeks should start to deflate within the next couple of weeks. Also, they gave me the OK to go to Mexico in a couple of weeks. I am going with my dad to stay with his cousin at a great surf spot called Nexpa. Before I go though, we are going to repeat my scans and hopefully hopefully they will be all clean and I will not need any radiation.
Still feeling really good, going to work today. Ill keep you posted on the scans...
