I wanted to tell you earlier, because only a few know that I was in the hospital the last 4 days. But the Intensive Care doesn't provide a lot of facilities...
I already told you I felt very tired the last days and on Monday I felt really exhausted. My mother called the doctor and she told us to come to the emergency entrance right away. What they saw in my blood must have frightened them, for they were really serious. (Hemoglobine: 4,4, LDH: more than 1000 and Bilirubine more than 2 (in case I have hematologists amongst my readers) it means that something was destroying my red blood cells quite thoroughly) The biggest problem right now is my blood type. It's really difficult to find matching blood, and if they hadn't found the right blood, I would have been in deep trouble. I can tell you, it's a strange thing if the doctor asks if they have to inform my other familymembers, if there is someone I'd want them to call... She literally said they were not sure it was going to be alright.
Tuesday I could change from the Emergency Room to the Intensive Care. They also had good news. My blood was getting better. And until now its still getting better. I still have a low Hemoglobine level, but the other results were reassuring enough to let me go home, to come back on Monday. Oh yeah, I'd almost forget they also did another PET/CT scan, because there was a chance that all this was caused by another lymphoma, but the scan was very good!
So now I have to wait again... Hoping that whatever caused this trouble will not come back. I said I was hoping to give you better news and now I come with this... At least it keeps things exciting :s
