The waiting game is on!
So I met with my Oncologist yesterday (Dr. Freidberg). It all went pretty well. They were pleased with how well I am doing. I thought I might be in a little bit of trouble because I have not been taking my Acyclovir or Bactrim at all. Luckily I did not get the 3rd degree, but was told that I really should start my Bactrim this time. The pills are HUGE so he prescribed me half strength pills. Which means instead of 3 times a week I have to take a pill everyday now. We’ll see how that goes. I have a really hard time taking pills. Pretty much any thought of any medication (even Tylenol) makes me ill now. 
I must say it was nice to see Dr. Friedberg and Lynn. As weird as this may sound .. my wife and I missed them. They’re just such great people and medical professionals. We also ran into one of my chemo nurses Sharice. It was so nice to see her too. I did not get to talk to her much because I was called in for my blood work just as she stopped to talk with us.
My scans will have to wait until June. So I will not get the remission status until then. They want to let my body recover from the radiation treatment first. They do not think they would get a good read if they scan me now. I am sure my lungs, heart, kidney’s, thyroid, spine, etc .. were all affected by the radiation so they want to give my body some time to calm down.
I did not end up going into work this morning either. I am just thoroughly exhausted today. Hopefully, I can catch up on some much needed rest and return back to work on Thursday.
Other than that things are going well. I rest when my body tells me too, eat when I am hungry and try to stay somewhat active.
I am happy to say that I think I have been cured of my fast food addiction. Other than the Popeye’s the other day I have not had any fast food since I was in the hospital. This could be why I am still at 175 pounds. I weighed 195 before I went in for my transplant. Now it is just a matter of not being too lazy to fix something to eat. Plus my appetite is not fully back either. Hopefully I can stay away from the fast food entirely. I can honestly say I feel much better without it.
