It is getting stranger... but taking it in stride

So on my last blog I told everyone that all of a sudden I'm being paid a lot of attention to. Dr. offices calling me, scheduling of tests, etc.

Yesterday I got a call, out of the blue, from UCSF that I was scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy. My UCSF oncologist wanted it done right away and so it will be next Thursday morning. Thursday morning!!! UCSF has never done anything this fast before!!! I called the nurse and asked if it was normal or was something going on. All he could tell me was "the Dr. ordered it as soon as we could schedule it... and that is next Thursday". I asked if I needed to confirm it... he said, "No you just need to be here".

I'm use to being the patient that nobody is worried about. The patient who gets to choose, come back in 3,4 or 6 months? The patient who always worries more than the doctors. Not really use to all this unsolicited attention.

Luckily my company, and most importantly my boss, were very supportive. I will be able to go, in fact, he told me to take Friday off and just relax. So... I'm taking this all in stride. I totally understand that this is probably no big thing and I will be back to my normal healthy self real soon. It is just the strange world of having MM... I'm sure all my MM blogger friends can relate...

The body is sick, but thanks to Jesus the soul is alive and well...

  1. Steven, I hope it went well and that you'll be a bit clearer as to what is going on when they get the results. I have a lot of admiration for you!
