Banana Dogpatches

In March of 2011 I was diagnosed with metastatic mucosal melanoma. At this point it had spread to my lungs as well as my front right hip lymph node. This blog is my way to share my progress with my family, friends and business associates. Update - early 2012 I had 4 tumors appear in my brain and underwent heavy radiation and surgery which removed the largest and killed the others. Also mid year 2015, a tumor on my adrenal gland and another on my stomach appeared.

In the ER again

So Ki and I had to go to a biometric insurance check yesterday (basic measurements & light blood test), and I passed out and chucked "coffee" (Dr. speak for dark blood) and now I've had an endoscopy, and am off warfarin (they gave me vitamin K to reverse the Anticoagulation as there is danger of bleeding out, which would be bad.)

I stopped breathing, and my heart stopped for a bit, but BING I mostly came back. Ki said I was taking my clothes off, and when he covered me with a sheet I THREW it off! Lol

So far they've given me 4 bags of blood (the ER doc switched me to irradiated blood on the 3rd and 4th, and now my oncologist is trying to get me 2 regular bags as I would benefit (my blood count was 6.1 and median for males is 14!) this explains my fatigue, dizzyness etc. they're out of nuclear blood, so Dr Blanchete is trying to reach the prescribing doc to get it changed.

I'm feeling quite better now, but I do want the MegaGulp dose (6 bags).This is one of my fave pics with Ki.
