Pills.....

I've pretty much had a hell of a year so far. My primary MD, called me in,after some routine blood tests. Platelets were way to hi,so he refers me to a specialist. (Thats how he put it) Few days later,I get an appt card from the cancer center. Wait 2 weeks to see this Dr. and he schedules me for a bone marrow biopsy to test for leukemia. Another 2 weeks. In the mean time, I develop a pain in my lower abdoman. First thing I think is tumor. Have the biopsy, and then a ct scan. Wait another 2 weeks to see the Dr again. Well (sigh) no cancer,(found this out a year to the day that we buried my brother from cancer) and the pain was a hernia. (Had that fixed already,and feeling good) However, platelets,are still to high, and Dr. said if I don't get them down, I will have a stroke. Got a prescription far that. Turns out it is a cancer drug,and the side effects will scare the crap out of you. Been on them for 3 weeks now, and 3 more before I see him again. Guess it's a damned if you do,damned if you don't deal.
