What a day

I was in the OR by 7:30. They placed a stent in the ureter between my left kidney and the bladder.  There was defenitly blockage. The stent will remain in for 3 months. I also got a foley. It will remain in for 48 hours. That should cut down on my nightly trips for a couple of days.

I also had a chest xray, an echo-cardiogram and yes, a bone marrow biopsy.

Treatment plans have changed. The team sees no evidence of this being aggressive, but agrees the treatment should be: R-CHOP (look it up) Stronger side effects, only 1 day treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles.

Tomorrow, back to the OR for a dual port, then hopefully a treatment.
