Wonderful to come home today after spending a few very cool days with the family (big thanks again to Liz for the ticket help... Even if I had to fly *cough* Delta lol - although the flight crew on the flight from Orlando were all burly dudes... not unpleasant haha :), and the real news here is to find my faux Gleevec had come in the mail!
So tonight I'll be starting the first pill with dinner. And later this week I'll contact my oncologist up in Portland to schedule a scan and follow up meeting in two months.
I probably need to read up on the possible side effects in case my toenails turn green and start to fall off... Or if my tongue starts to sweat and swell... Or hmmm you get the gist.
Oh and in case anyone is curious, the Mt Everest roller coaster at the Disney Animal Park kinda didn't suck like most Disney coasters in terms of not being overly mellow. Who'd have thought that day would come?
And I'm really looking forward to Ki being back home in couple of weeks!
We love you Doss and are all pulling for you to get better! Your friends in SLC Utah.
ReplyDeleteGood news on the Gleevec! Silly name, but really, if it does the trick they can call it BananaIslandMonkeyKisses for all I care! We'll keep sending good vibes on the wind to you, Doss, and its so so great to read your posts, full of humor and positive energy. Much love!
ReplyDeleteWell officially the pills are called "Imatinib" since I'm not able to get the name brand, but rather the generic, but who can say "Imblabityblat" ... I mean really. :)
ReplyDeleteDisney was fun, although I feel like I limited them on expedition Everest as I would only ride it once because of a headache, yeah... oh well
