Hi. I did get an ultrasound and they are doing another on the 16th. I am now blue down my legs....it looks like an old time striped bathing suit! I find out my treatments on the 12th. My blood tests are all "low" or a few as "high" which has no meaning to me. I am immune compromised as my IGg and IGa are very low....I usually get gammagard at least every 4 weeks....which helps. The leukemia is probably the cause of the cancer, I would guess.... The right pump is going to town ; the left pump is weaker as I keep getting big clots in it...I am on a blood thinner. But....life is good. I am not doing well on the pain killer as it makes me ill. Keep smiling.....

@gailmarienewton ah geez. Life just shouldn’t be that hard. I don’t even know what to say except keep hanging in and at least the pain from surgery will pass.
I found that none of this is easy but it does get better and I look for the things it brings me, like more time with my husband and having the ability to help my neighbors.
What kinds of things are you living for?
