MRI is Done - Now Waiting for Results

Ema had her leg MRI yesterday, but the radiologist told her that it would be Friday, at the earliest, that results would be available for her doctor. She is seeing her oncologist today and getting blood tests. Hopefully her hematocrit (portion of her blood volume occupied by red blood cells) level is up from last week. We suspect it is as she's been eating iron-rich foods and feeling a little better each day.

There are still scary times like last night when she had a wave of sickness that she said felt just like the flu. Several hours of sleep proved helpful though as she was feeling better by 3:30 this morning. By the way, does anyone ever feel okay at 3:30 in the morning? I know I don't. Perhaps I should have waited until a little later to ask her. . .oh well.

I'll give an update later as to what her doctor said today.
