UCLA - Day 1 …

I went to UCLA on Thursday and met with Kristen… She was one of my nurse’s with my first transplant team in 2002, since then, she’s become a Nurse Practitioner and she's part of Dr. Moore’s staff.

My platelets were low, 26,000 on Thursday and they infused me. Low platelets are result of the first cycle of chemotherapy.

I go back on Monday for another blood test, I was supposed to start the second cycle on Monday, but we’re going to put it off until Wednesday. It’s a three day infusion and I have a choice of staying at UCLA, or receiving the chemo on a out patient basis… I’m going to do the out patient, there is no place better to sleep at night then my own bed.

Dr. O has been talking to Kristen and Dr. Moore, everyone is on the same page and I’m really happy with how things are going. This was a much, much easier transition then I ever expected.

I feel good, I’m just weak, but I’m going to church on Sunday morning.

Thank you for your prayers, and have a great weekend..

Thank you Lord for everything working out with UCLA. I feel so blessed to have Dr. O and Dr. Moore taking care of me. Continue to give them wisdom in treating me and I pray this cancer will be resolved from my body. Thank you for all you have done in my life and I thank you in advance for all you are going to do. I praise your holy name. Amen
