Another Chance to be Patient

Written 4/18/11

Everything is hunky dory.

We have stopped the R-Chop because it wasn’t working well enough.

We are trying to set up a time to do the surgery on my eyes to remove the cataracts.

Several options for the next phase of treatment are available and so the next task is to decide which path to take. Pursuing a second transplant is subject to them seeing a significant reduction in the size of my lymph nodes. Dr. Meyer gave an overview of at least three options for treatment including researching any clinical trials that may be available to me in other places in the country.

I recorded the meeting. It was overwhelming. Lots of long words I’ve never heard of before.

My deep set desire to have this all “done with” gives me another chance to learn what it means to be patient.
