As some of you already know I have been undergoing some rather extensive testing the past month. Today the cancer doc took some bone and bone marrow out of my right hip. He is a big strong guy and let me tell you that needle must be BIG and strong. Of course he also had the nurse draw 4 more vials of blood. That makes 13 in the past week. He kept asking me if he was hurting me and I told him no just get it done. To me it was better than being out in the line of folks getting chemo therapy for hours. Won't know the total outcome till I go back in 2 weeks. He told me to drop the iron tablets the heart doc has had me taking for 4 years. Said my iron levels were way elevated. After all that fun I went next door for my annual pacemaker/ICD check. Says I should get 3 more years from the battery.Then after a little shopping and lunch got to get an ultrasound of my testicles.The only test they have not done yet is a colonoscopy although he did mention that a few weeks back. He did not ask and I sure as hell did not mention it.Let me tell you I never realized how hard a toilet seat is till I had that needle stuck in me today. Going to be a 2 pain pill night for sure.
