for many days i was unable to write as my computer was not working. today mr inderjeet from md anderson gave me a laptop to use at the hospital.
my flight was very long and and i got very tired. our flight took 34hrs from amritsar to huston.
i stayed ok on the flight. my feet got a little swallon i thought that it was normal but the swelling on one of my feet was not going away. when we showed it to the doc he found out with an a ultrasound that there was a clot in my minor vein. i have been on strict bed rest for last 2 days as the docter said that if i walked the clot might dislodge and enter my lung causing a major problem. i did hot compress for my foot and the swelling has decreased a bit now. at first my foot was aching so much that i could not put any weight on it but now its a bit better.
im now at md anderson getting my treatment. before my transplant can be done they must get rid of all the cancer cells in my blood. this is called remission. after im in remission only then i can go for the transplant. im getting chemo now to kill the cancer cells.
i also found out that my gums were so swollen coz the cancer cells were present in them. with the chemo the swelling has decreased a bit to the extent that i can chew my food a bit now but its still present.
