I am going home this afternoon. I finally got the all clear. My Neutrophils are improving and my bowels are working. Still a ways to go but can continue to heal at home.

I have been at this hospital for 23 days in a row. It’s time.

The Oncologist is concerned about the lump under my arm. I had two new big lumps that were very inflamed. One seems to be improving. The other is not.

She said I can’t wait until next September when I have my next surgery. Apparently it needs to come out now. So she has referred me to Dr Frank (one of my surgeons from last surgery). I see him December 14th.

I find it a bit unsettling that different Doctors say different things. They did an ultrasound a week and a half ago and were unsure what it is but didn’t think it was cancer. It is near where they biopsied in August. The other Oncologist thinks it is lymph node. They removed a lot of lymph nodes and she thinks my lymph system is overloaded from the toxicity.

When I do have my surgery in September the plan is remove all the 9 or some lumps I have. They are two with clips that they have been monitoring. In February I will have bilateral mammogram and ultrasound. They are definitely staying on top of things.

Anyway – that is all just noise.

I AM GOING HOME! I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed.
