Actually there is good news and then maybe better news.
The good news is the Aranesp seems to be working as I had a red count of 116 which is only 4 points off normal.
The bone Marrow aspiration went well. I had primed the nurse to be ready to get the dazzle in fast and I'm glad I did because she seemed a bit surprised at how fast Doc Shoozenbootzen moved she had this look on her face as she's scrabbling to get her gloves on and get the singe into the line. I just said "I Told you" and laughed. Felt the needle to deaden the skin but nothing after that and It didn't even hurt when I woke up.
We got the results last Thursday and the Doc says I meet the minimum requirements for the trial. This is of course good cause we go on to apply for the trial now. But it means that I sick enough to meet the terms. Oh well. Not there yet as he has to apply and he has to talk it over with my Kidney Doctor as there are implications to my kidneys using this new drug VUXSOMETHING.
So we are up for a great Christmas season.
More later
Merry Christmas
Chris
