Week of tests

Today we go to Huntsman for blood labs and have to stick around for the results, lest Dale needs another transfusion. I don't think he will since his energy and coherence are better now. Previously, the home-care nurse could have done the labs, but I suspect since Dale blacked out last week while blood was drawn, more precautions are taken. They also scheduled PT and bone marrow biopsy for tomorrow. By Thursday's appointment with the doctor, we could have a better idea of what is next, although the colonoscopy is not for another 10 days.

We are forever grateful to the kind souls around us who continuously lift our spirits and smile with us as we trudge along this medical pathway to who knows where, what, when, or how. I sometimes hope that I can focus on other things, but alas! Cancer care always prevails.
