mary y update again

[Guest guest]

this is the THIRD TIME i have tried to send this message! arghhhh!i don't know if it's my computer or yapoop messing up! anyway.......i went to the hematologist on june 28th and had my blood tested AGAIN! all my levels are coming up to normal range except for my hemoglobin, which is still below the low end of normal. so, the doc gave me a shot of procrit. today i went back and got another shot of the same stuff, and on this friday they will do another cbc to see if the shots are having the desired effect. on july 12th i get to have an upper endoscopy done to rule out gastric bleeding as a possible cause of the anemia. the hematologist has already sent the surgeon a letter clearing me for surgery. so if the endoscopy shows my stomach is ok, i have the blood tests repeated that need to be less than 30 days old before surgery. and if all those are still ok, then i will get a new surgery date.

i hope i get this ds done before the end of the next millennium!if i get desperate enough, i'll just take my letter opener and desk stapler and have at it myself!!! i gotta go now and sharpen that letter opener.........
