Saba Beats Cancer

So it's been one week since I finally got out of the hospital - and tomorrow will mark the first time since March 1st that I will go 8 days without a bag of chemo hanging from my arm.  Jeez. Still doing all my detox stuff so that I can get even healthier. Imagine waking up knowing that you will feel better than you have in 5 months. Every day for the next week or so. It is pure heaven. And we went to coffee shop number 3 this morning. It was a little far so just drove over there, walked the pups and sat outside and sipped my coffee and had a great egg taco.  Absolutely grand. The hair is coming in like an 11 year old going through puberty. All peach fuzz on my face and head. And it is pure white - I mean no color whatsoever.  So the first round of hair should be interesting.  Don't care as long as it is growing which means there are less toxins in my body. We did add wheat grass to the mix because there are indications it helps with detox and a couple of ladies...

Nothing new.  Just good blood work. On track with kidney and liver and zarxio is helping the counts. So another boring appointment.  It really gets somewhat old. We show up at 12:30 to get the blood drawn.  Then they have to process it, I get vitals taken and then we wait to see the LPN. If I see the doc, it's $70 a visit, if I see the LPN it's covered which is nice. Every other appt is the doc. So we wait 2 hours and then get blood results to say everything is on track. No new issues, listen to my lungs and we are out the door. We leave the house at 11:45 and get home at 4:30 today.  Just for nothing new.  Whew. Just a little annoying. Still doing well and feeling good - perhaps just a little more annoyed and tired today.  But that's to be expected. On to tomorrow -

Dammit!  The word "patient" does not describe me in any sense of the word.  So today I called MD Anderson to see if they have everything and they don't.  So no appointment tomorrow - they are going to try and squeeze me in for Thursday now or next Tuesday at the latest because they have to have all the records, scans, slides and such from Methodist to give me a second opinion. Soooooo frustrating - luckily our friend at Methodist is pushing to get all the records pushed over to MD Anderson today - but it is too late to get in for an appointment tomorrow.  My patient advocate at MD will call me later today and let me know if things moved - she was going to put a priority on the request from her end again to Methodist.  I called and resubmitted the request on my end and we know that was received from our Methodist contact so I think we are on the right track.  I was hoping they could get us in tomorrow, then do the three tests we need (bone marrow biopsy, t...
