Today was our 'short day.' Those are always deceptive and end up making us so weary!
So, we went for labs and they were overwhelmed, so we went to a 1 pm Dr Nair appt which started at 2:30. He removed some bandages and sent us back to the chemo lab to have the remaining port removed. Because Dr Nair cleared us to go home for about 2 weeks, we had to meet with a nurse to understand which labs we have to get at home and how to handle them.We had to do applications for some powerful meds we will use in the future,then met with the master scheduler to lay out our treatment plan. Then we found out that Dr Nair never sees patients on Weds., but came in just so we could go home.
So, we have a raft of paperwork and a dizzying to do list.
The plan as of now:
June 27-return to Little Rock
June 28,29-xrays,tests, bone marrows,PET scans, MRI's,blood tests,etc
July 1-Dr Nair 1:30pm
-install port in neck for chemo
July 2 thru 6th-chemo
July 7-Stem Cell Transplant
next 1-2 weeks-labs and monitoring transplant
Then home for 3-5 weeks
Return and repeat for second and last stem cell transplant
