Just Keep Swimming!

I love the movie, "Finding Nemo". There are such wonderful characters. My favorite would be Dori with her carefree attitude. Just look at her. They are about to have an encounter with a SHARK! Look a the look on her face. No worries, no fear. Poor Marlin is about paralyzed. Now granted, Dori cant remember something she said 10 seconds ago but hey, would that be all that bad? Think of the things you wouldn't remember. All the bad stuff, deaths, sicknesses, friends that have hurt you. But then, think of all the good things you wouldn't remember. Your first love, your wedding, the birth of your child, the wonderful memories of friends and family, trips you have taken. What a lose. I would hope all the good would out-way all the bad and the bad wouldn't seem, so bad.

There is a line in the movie where Dori and Marlin are searching for Nemo and Dori is singing, "Just keep swimming, swimming swimming, Just keep swimming..." Well, that is kind of where I am at right now. Swimming. Not in a sea of dis spare but just out there swimming. Not sure as if I am as carefree as Dori but I'm just swimming and am keeping swimming. As I mentioned in my last blog, my Gleevec just isn't working quite like its suppose to. It is keeping my white count down but when you look at a smaller molecular level my counts are starting to go back up. (Not a good thing) Again, it is nothing we are worried about since it is at such a small level but still cause for concern and possible different action.

Well, on Tuesday I finally heard from Dr Gingrich's office, but I don't have an appointment until October 19th. I am to not take my Gleevec that morning, I assume they will be testing my levels again like Dr Sangha did along with other blood tests. I will also be having another Bone Marrow Aspiration. I always thought that my next Bone Marrow would be to diagnosing me being in complete remission. So that is where I am at. In a big sea of time singing,"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.."
