Hospital Visit after first Chemo!

I need prayers and I know you will continue to pray for me after you see this latest on my journey to getting well. I was taken to my first chemo yesterday and they couldn't finish it. I had chest pain, blood pressure dropped and when my oxygen level did too, I was put on oxygen. Eventually I was taken to Mercy Clermont hospital, and my hemoglobin was low and I needed to spend the night to wait on blood from Hoxworth blood center in Cincinnati. It didn't arrive until late last night because they had to find a match since I had antibodies in my blood. Anyhow pray that I can tolerate the first chemo next week. A friend of mine had Lymphoma cancer and said he needed blood transfusions but it was later in his treatment. Thanks again for all the prayers. You all are the greatest and love you.

I have never mentioned here on my blog that I have Stage 4 NHL which means I have it in several places. I have it in my bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes surrounding spleen, middle of chest, right leg, armpits, neck, and back of both sides of groin. From what I understand, NHL is usually a slow-growing blood cancer so is a surprise to have it in so many places.

Biopsy is this Friday!

My CT scans showed enlarged lymph nodes in abdomen, armpits, shoulder, and collarbone. I'm not sure if he said my neck have enlarged nodes or not. They suspect I have lymphoma cancer based on the CT scans and the symptoms I have. The biopsy will confirm if I do. I have to be at the hospital on Friday at 7:30 a.m. It is supposed to snow. I don't want to have to reschedule it, so hope the weather won't be a problem. It will be a long weekend because I won't know the results until Monday or Tuesday. If you are reading this, say a prayer for me for healing. God Bless you. I love the support I get from my friends and readers on FB and by emails. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend. ​​
