Saba Beats Cancer

Neurologist just came in - they can't see a clot on the scans!!  Good news - something else is all up in there but it aint a clot.  So nothing of massive urgency. Yay - more good news -we will take it. Lots of blood work now and have looked at results and will summarize in the morning  - very low Lypocytes 13 when it is supposed to be 25 -45 - I assume Mr Lumpkin is eating all the Lypocytes. Dinner was OK and I could eat healthy.  Did some more meditating because you wait a lot.  Either that or go crazy. Also really high Lactate Dehydrogenese - 593  when it is supposed to be 87-225. Got wheeled around in a bed to get all the CT Scans done.  Including intravenous contrast which definitely felt strange. Great people here - just everybody is being great.  First night sleep in a hospital.  Hopefully biopsy and neuro consult first thing in the morning. Thanks for all the good thoughts - let's see if I can sleep through the night here.

We went in for the first oncology visit at Methodist with Dr. Heyne and things were going well.  He pointed out the positives that my blood work was normal and then examined the lymph lumps and said gotta biopsy those bad boys and it turns out we wear the same underwear that is pretty awesome -  but then he finishes with  - 'you have a potential blood clot in your brain and I really don't feel comfortable sending you home with a potential stroke. He sent the MRI to the Methodist neurologist Dr. Volpe who concurred with him on the MRI that it was not a good thing to have a "p ossible partial dural venous sinus thrombosis which could account for the heterogeneous flow in the dural sinuses." So here we are - I will cop to the fact that the double vision thing was starting to bother me and was worried about driving like that.  So Lee and I were glad they recommended getting that fixed first. The sharp stabbing headaches and neck pain also are not fun.  So off ...
