Today, Sharon had to have another bone marrow scan. She also had her blood counts checked. Her counts were low and she was scheduled for a transfusion. While waiting for the transfusion, someone came to take them back to the radiology department due to abnormal results in the scan. They found that blood was forming in her lungs and liver. In order to stop this from occurring in her lungs, she had to undergo a radiation treatment. Sharon said there have not been any side effects from the treatment. It was pretty much a non-event after the initial scare.
Bob explained that when your body does not produce bone marrow, it tries to produce the blood somewhere else. In Sharon's case, it was the lungs and liver. The radiation treatment was a one time thing. Dr. Hogan told her that she should be able to breathe a little easier after the treatment.
After the radiation treatment, Sharon went back to receive her transfusion.
Her day finally ended when they arrived at the transplant house at 10:00 p.m.
