Long, busy days of testing

                                                   Day -14 to Day -12
Hi everyone!

Yesterday(Monday) was very long and busy! There were many appointments and consults:

  • Blood draws in apartment.(We had to fast for 8 hours). 
  •  Urinalysis.
  • Blood clotting test. 
  •  Welcome presentation, we got to meet the whole team.
  • Watched videos that explained the process. 
  • Paperwork.
  • Spirometry test.
  • Chest X-ray.
  • Consultation with Neurologist
  • EKG.
  •  Consultation with Cardiologist.

Today(Tuesday) we did our:


  • Medical history.
  • Hematology Consult- with Dr. Ruiz
  • Information Consult about procedure with Dr. Priesca-a hematologist and internal medicine doctor.


I just can't say enough good things about everyone here!! Everyone in so kind, considerate, and caring! The level of care has been excellent! Far better than (sorry to say, the USA). Everyone from the drivers to the maids, to the doctors!! We are being well cared for! If we need anything, someone comes right away!!
Javier, our driver, will do anything for us! He even helps with grocery shopping if needed! He's the best!!

Just take a deep breath and blow as hard and long as you can!

I did talk to Dr. Ruiz about my sinuses ?infection. He gave me the go ahead. They will be giving me antibiotics. That should help!

So, tomorrow I start chemo!
Just drink 3 liters of water/day. Easier said than done! I'll try!

Pray for me:
  • That my sinuses will get better.
  • That I can drink 3 liters/day, to stay hydrated!
  • That I won't get sick from the chemo.


Thank you for all of the encouragement!and prayers!
Love,
Kim😘
