Today's Test Results

Today Tyler and I met with the infusion center manager and chemo nurse. They gave us a lot of good information. A few of the things we learned: no flowers or plants can be brought in because of possible bacteria and fungal contamination. Bummer :(. We also learned that I will have lots of food restrictions! We also learned that I am not going to be allowed visitors for the 1st 14 days after a chemo treatment. I also won't be out and about at all during this time. Please don't be offended if Tyler doesn't let you in! He is very protective and wanting to do exactly as the Doctors have advised. I also had my MUGA (heart) scan today. That involved them drawing some blood and mixing it with a radioactive isotope, then injecting it back in my vein. Then a special gamma camera took pics of my left ventricle working. That number is expressed as a percent and mine is 56%. Normal is considered about 50% so we are good to go! Tomorrow I head to Twin to visit with Dr. Steffens the neurologist. Then rest on Wednesday, work all day Thursday and head back to McKay Friday! Anxious for 2014- Happy New Year everyone! As always we are amazed by your love and support. Please keep the prayers coming!! ~ Melissa I know it has been hard to post comments to the blog but now we have set Melissa up with a Facebook so people can send her uplifting messages. Yay! ~ Nicole
