Newest Update

Journal entry by Paul Brown

Its been a minute to update this i have been lazy and just worn down to. This started in January of 2016. I started having back rouble for a week and at the time thought it was me pulling a muscle. we it was one night at the station I couldnt take it anymore and I called my boss telling him to please come in for me. I went up to FCH and I had a few test and x-rays done and they gabe me some morphine IV and I had BJ and Josh come drive me home. I was at home and went to bed to rest and woke some hours later and I would have to ask BJ the perfect timeline here. Reguardless I was hurting way to bad and went up to weatherford regional ER and they ru some test one of which was a CT with runoff. That made me sick but i digress. The ER Dr came in and said they want me to stay overnight cause it looks like I might have a form of cancer. The next day I waited to finally start my cancer jounreny and after alot of bloodwork I got to see the oncologist and a few days past and had my very first bone marrow aspiration. Yea that hurt so freaking bad as they went all barberic on me using a hand drill. I also had a day in there where I had a biopsy done through my abdomen and had a port placed. At the time I was in total dismay having this port placed as it was all to real and things. So left the hospital a few days later and had to start my chemo treatment in a few days and stuff. Went to plaza medical and had my first week o treatment. I was still in shock and wasnt impressed with oncology at the time as I only seen the Dr a couple times. ! week later I was heading home and things. Went to Dr Bartosh office to get pain meds and patches and got the news of what type of lymphoma I had.
