Atkins Has Left The Building!

Tomorrow is my third bone marrow biopsy. The first was in July, 2008. It was very painful and revealed a 70% cancer load. The second was December, 2010. It was only a little uncomfortable and showed that chemo had pushed my cancer load to less than 1%.

So now tomorrow will be the determining factor on whether or not my bone marrow transplant has been a success. All the blood work points toward success. But we won't know until it's checked with a bone marrow biopsy.

This anxiety about both the results and the possible pain of the actual procedure has driven me to ice cream.

Go for it and enjoy! Atkins can return when the test is over & you feel better.

Comfort food is the best medicine for right now - just do it!

You ate the brownie because you NEEDED that brownie. Besides, it was taunting you (as opposed to town of Taunton, pronounced "Taunt-in" and you were right not to stand for that.
