Down 100,000

July 9^th

Today I had my oncologist appointment; I was going to find out if the meds were working.  I got in and was waiting to see the doctor when I saw a woman that looked very familiar.  I stood there because there was no seating available.  My name was called.  As l walked by, she recognized me.  She asked what I was doing there.  I looked at her jokingly and said we are at a cancer treatment center.  As soon as I was done getting my blood drawn, I was met with a hug.  She was the security officer from my job. What is she doing here? I thought.  She seemed so happy and was always so friendly.  She invited Theo and me to sit with her.  She remembers who I was but didn’t know my name.  She gave me the full run of her story.  Well, her husband, who was working two jobs when he found out, got a call from his doctor and told him to take his a$$ to the ER right now. (Sorry, I had to tell the story right) he got there to find out he had AML.  This is the acute stage of leukemia.  It moves fast and needs immediate treatment.  He has since received a bone marrow transplant. They were there to get the final results to see if he was cancer free.  It was my turn.  I waited what seemed to be hours before the doctor came in with good news.  My blood count was down by 100,000.  Thank you, God.  I still have a fight. I still need to drop by 50-100,000 more and that’s not even to become normal.  I know my body will be restored.
