The call finally came! The lab results are in and positive! I am eligible for the treatment. It's been a full month now since Dr. Olson wanted to get it started, but finally here we are ~ Kaci is on the phone telling me I have the green light... Then I coughed, wheezed a little and she stopped me. "You can't start the treatment if you're sick, Toni." The words stabbed through me like a dull knife...no no no no no no. I explained to her that I was just released from the hospital, but that I felt great, so much better. I was ready, completely ready to start.
She talked with Dr. Olson and they decided it was too risky. I needed to wait until I arrived in Denver and she could examine me before I started it. So, once again, not yet...
