Home Sweet Home

I'm Finally Home!!!

I've been released! I write to you now from the comfort of my own couch.
Now that all the initial procedures, tests, and medications have been taken care of, the rest of my treatment is completed through the out-patient clinic. Meaning I simply show up for my treatment and go home when I'm done!

Depending on what the treatments are, that could range from an hour or two, to an entire day.
But nonetheless, I get to spend the nights with my family in my own home!

My Upcoming Schedule:
-Back to sloan tomorrow. Just for some blood work and other labs. Shouldn't take too long.
-Next round of meds is Monday, and again it should hopefully only take an hour or two.

What I get to look forward to:
The way the medicines work, they kill any rapidly growing cells in your body.
While the majority of these cells are the cancer cells, it also includes hair follicles and effects your white blood cells and your ability to fight infection.

So by the middle of the next week I should start to see some hair loss and I'll have to be extra careful with the people and things around me, as I will be extremely vulnerable to infections of all types.

For now I only have one thing on my mind.
It involves a pillow and my own comfy bed.

So have a great night... I know I will!
