“We expect everyone to experience some complications” – That’s what the doctors say to us transplant patients.
Now it’s my turn. Up until now things have been going great. Today at my weekly check up I found out that I have Epstein Barr virus. You probably have it too, most people do. But I’m having a flare up. Specifically, the lymph nodes in my head and neck and swollen and sore. If left untreated it could turn into lymphoma (lymph node cancer) – and we don’t want that.
So tomorrow I get admitted back in to the hospital for a CT scan and a bunch of tests. Then treatments start on Friday – (some sort of infusions). Hopefully in a few weeks, I’ll be as good as new. – I won’t (shouldn’t) be in the hospital for the next few weeks, hopefully just a day.
It’s not really anything serious, just a complication and an inconvenience on my road to getting better.
So, I’m still in the thick of it. Please keep praying for me and encouraging me. I’ll get through this.
Dog gone it!!!!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Keeping you in prayer.
get well soon. hope things will be just fine soon.
