Not Yet with Yervoy

I wound up back in the ER after having more bleeding. It's likely the same problem as before, so we did another endoscopy, but this time the surgeon was looking for a more specific bleed in my stomach. My blood levels dropped below 6 this time, which is dang low.

Ki came home at noon to get me to an oncology appt. for an iron infusion (the Yervoy was scheduled, but it wasn't delivered here yet, so we decided to get more iron and wait for the Yervoy to come, which should be soon.

When he arrived I was feeling like I couldn't make the appt, as I was dizzy, really couldn't walk much, and starting having speech issues, and my right hand and forearm were numb for about 30 mins. He called an ambulance and they took me in. It was 3 firemen, and the lead joked about me hopefully enjoying being cared for by 3 "hot" firemen - this was pretty funny. Mainly cause only one was handsome, so I smiled.

Once we arrived the ER doc sent me to another head MRI as my symptoms seemed like a tiny stroke, but the results were negative for it. Very glad for that result.

I had a tumor/ulcer in my stomach which the surgeon was able to cauterize (along with 2 tiny ones.) this seems drastic, but it's likely the reason for my blood issues. Overall, I'm really hoping this addresses the issue.

We stopped all anticoagulants for now, since they're likely the cause. What a less than great few weeks, but having a probable cause and fix makes me feel pretty upbeat!
