March 19 - I can only imagine...

I've been stuck at home recovering from this pericarditis as I wait to start the reassessments and testing to see if I can proceed with the rescheduled chemotherapy, radiation and stem cell transplant which will start again (prayerfully hoped for) on April 4th.



A movie opened on 3/16 (which I was able to attend behind a surgical mask) - "I Can Only Imagine" whose title is based on the break-out best selling song by MercyMe.  What a great movie; no matter where you are in your personal faith journey!  The movie is about Bart Millard (lead singer for MercyMe) and his tough life as a child and his abusive father (played well by Dennis Quaid) - you'll have to watch the movie to see what happens!  The song itself, if you have never heard it, is great (the song linked to the image above.)  This song is inspiring, humbling and so hopeful.



Yesterday, the Adult Sunday School class (Larry Moore's class) hosted a Spaghetti Luncheon Dinner at Riverton United Methodist Church.  People came over 3 1/2 hours to have spaghetti, a salad and dessert.  I am so grateful for this event.  My doctor told me I couldn't attend this huggable event!  Jan was my representative (bless you my bride!)  I want to thank all of those who put on the event and those that turned out.

Tomorrow, I go for my 6th bone marrow biopsy (along with CT Scans and lab) at Johns Hopkins.  Jan and I ask for travel mercies and that the tests lead to the stem cell transplant without a glitches.

Have a great week!

    Continued prayers Dr. Bradd and family!! (This song has special meaning to me, and I’m sure many others. I have been waiting for this movie to come out and can’t wait to see it!!)

    And I agree with Addie! My brother sent me a CD with two songs on it by a fella from the same town as his family lives. I Can Only Imagine is one of the two! It is a song that Dustin and I have listened to, and sung along with, many, many times. Special prayers and love to you and Jan (and the rest of the kaboodle) for tomorrow and days to come!

January 28 - Just in - I am going to receive a bone marrow transplant

Image
In the last 2 weeks, we received much amazing news.  In quick succession, we found out: I am going to receive a bone marrow transplant (actually, it is a stem cell transplant) at Johns Hopkins on March 9. All four of our children were matches for the transplant. The one child I didn't expect to be the donor is..... ?  [Listen to the audioblog post below for who it is!] As previously mentioned, the IDHIFA oral chemotherpay worked miraculously on my MDS and the blast count in my bone marrow dropped below the 5% cut-off for consideration of a bone marrow (or stem cell) transplant. As exciting as this is, the reality of the details of getting the bone marrow transplant have set in: Getting all of the extensive testing (CT scans, Echocardiogram, EKG, PFT's, lab, repeat Bone Marrow Biopsy 😓etc) needs to be done prior to the transplant. Finding a place to live for the 2+ months Jan and I will be in Baltimore (so as to get treatments and checkups at Johns Hopkins o...

February 16 - New Information

This past Monday I had a difficult bone marrow biopsy lasting 1 1/2 hours.  Jan and I have been waiting for the results and we got the results late yesterday afternoon My bone marrow revealed that... I AM IN REMISSION! This means that the biopsy found no evidence of cancer in the biopsy and the chimer test shows that there is only donor cells (and none of mine)! Praise and honor to GOD   (and the staff at Johns Hopkins).. If all goes well,  I should be discharged early next week and return home to finish recovery at home and then return to the office on a limited basis (at least at first).  Still a long way to go.... So... YOUR PRAYERS and support have worked.  Jan and my family is greatly relieved and also grateful. Bless you all!

March 6 - a harrowing experience comes to an end.

Here is what I hope you'll find interesting but it sure wasn't fun! [Note I did revise it to explain some medical terms and lingo ... sorry about that!] Two days before chemo (March 1), Dr Luznik told me to stop the ibuprofen (it would mask fever in the BM transplant) and the IDHIFA (Thursday).  Friday, the Hickman catheter was, not a problem. Went out to eat with Jan and Justin and Aaron (our two sons who helped us) and I could barely walk (IDHIFA bone ache off the ibuprofen - noted side effect of IDHFIA).  Saturday, got the chemo without a hitch.  The aches and pains of the MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) (and IDHIFA) came back.  I spoke with the attending on service, Dr Imus. How gave me OXYIR 5 (a low dose oxycodone since I can use Ibuprofen or tylenol).  I had a vague chest ache at the time but thought it was the bone ache. Through Saturday afternoon, the vague chest ache got slowly worse.  By the evening, I could NOT even watch a basketball game...
