AML: Day -4

Not a lot of news today.  I got my last dose of chemo this afternoon.  Only 2 doses.   Radiation starts tomorrow.  Probably the most nervous about that.   When you get a parade of doctors telling you the risks of every procedure... It weighs on a person. 

So the chemo is done.  Turns out one of the drugs causes hiccups.  I've been dealing with them most of the afternoon.   Only slightly nauseous.  Getting more and more tired.  \

The cardiologist stoped by.  They are starting me on some drugs to try to protect it since my echocardiogram has me at the low end of normal in the amount of blood it pumps with each beat.  They say not to be worried, but all say it is unusual for my age.  It's the danger of all this chemo... It can be hard on the organs. 

Everyone still says that I am in great shape for this... So I will go with that.   In all a good day.  Glad to have my girl with me after all the lonely days in Sanford.
