More Lab work
Hi I have to have my potassium level checked again today, plus a blood test on my leukemia called the FISH test. This allows the oncologist to see if my leukemia is advancing or not. It's either this test or a bone marrow biopsy, and they can tell more from the FISH test then with the BMB (bone marrow biopsy) and it's not painful like the BMB. I'll let you know what I find out.
Say a prayer that it's not advancing. Love Kathy
Thank you Laura, everything was done but the FISH test. That has to be ordered. But on Tuesday when I found out about the blood clot, my potassium was 3.2 low. Today it's 3.7, sugar 98. My blood pressure was up to high again, so I need to find out why that is acting up again. That's twice it's been too high when I have had to do blood work. Oh well.
I have had a time of it registering again to reply to this message. I wish they would quit changing things. It makes it harder to find something. Oh well.
Blood work is looking good, even my CHolesterol was 179 and it usually runs high like 250 heart disease level. That's the lowest it's ever been.
Love ya, Kathy
Now Julie, life is grand, and as far as I am concerned, all's well in my world. Just another day. The lab work was all in normal range except my HDL was just a tad low, but nothing to worry about. Even the pain from this blood clot doesn't bother me. God doesn't give us anymore then we can handle, and he knows just how much I can handle. I trust him to make everything right. I know there's no cure for Leukemia, but I could die from something else. God has a reason for everything that is happening in my life, he had a reason when he put Dr. Colquitt in my path. He has a reason for me getting Leukemia. I just have to trust Him to show me what he has planned for me. He's not done with me yet, I'm his work in progress. So don't be sorry for me, thank God for me.
Love Kathy
This board is my support and inspiration comes from above. I don't know where I would be right now if it weren't for God, and being raised knowing him. I need him everyday, and everyday he meets my needs. The only thing I do is sign the checks for the bills. He makes sure I have money for that, for food, my medications, for the roof over my head. He's always with me. I was led to find this website 2 years ago this month, and I have met so many wonderful Christians and friends. Thank you.
That is so wonderful that you are such a true child of God! In knowing someone that is as strong and determined to live their life through him. I am truly inspired by your strength and in know way ment to make you feel bad. I only pray that God will help me to be as faithful. I also believe everything in this life happens for a reason and we need to let God be in control. So many amazing things come from God's wonderous works! I know if it weren't for him I would not be where I am today and I do thank him each and everyday-not just for me but also in being able to meet such an amazing person such as you! You are a blessing to so many! Stay the sweet and loving self that you are and remember we are all hear for you if you need us.
Lot's of love and blessings your way!
Love,
Julie
Thank you Julie, I know you didn't mean to make me feel bad, I didn't even think of it that way. I do what I can to stay on top of this leukemia. It doesn't have me, God controls it. Every day when I slowly get up and wonder what type of day is it going to be, I just pray that I He will keep me from being sick from the chemo pills. I know that nothing in the way of blood thinners can do anything about this blood clot in a surface vein, except to keep it propped up and apply heat to it. Even the pain in the veins in my foot that are swollen doesn't slow me down. I ignore it as I know he is dealing with it and he will make it better for me. In his own time, not mine. Have a great evening and just know He's always there beside you. Love Kathy
