Ok... so Chris is getting better bloodwork-wise. We have a few weeks before Chemo Round 3... but we have to get that finger resolved,,, you know about the finger? or no? Chris had a little tiny bump on his left middle finger for years...
After the first round of chemo it started getting bigger. And then it got bigger and bigger.. literally 3 times the size of his finger. It looked painful and it was painful..
Dr Partridge saw him in the hospital and was ready to biopsy it as soon as his counts were up after Chemo Round 2. After counts start going back up, Chris has terrible tendinitis pain one day. - August 15th to be exact. We go to see Jackie (Dr Strair's right hand woman- Nurse- Bone Marrow Coordinator). They talk to him about admitting him... but it could take days to get MRI scheduled. He does not want to spend the weekend in the hospital just waiting for tests. He gets a quick x-ray. Nothing looks bad... he is better in a day or so. So, Chris has the biopsy done of his finger on August 20th. It comes back non-cancer-- its a pseudo tumor.
Now we have some time to chill at home before Round 3 of chemo starts. Dr Strair calls before Labor Day weekend but they were getting final pathology on the finger biopsy and waiting for rooms to be available.. so We get to stay home for Labor Day weekend.. we go back to the hospital September 3rd. I am attaching photos of his finger that will have to be fixed after Chemo Round 3
