This is a venue for venting, ponderence, babbling, and passing the time while my wife, best friend, mother to my children takes chemo therapy treatment for a pre-leukemic condition known as Myelo-Displastic Syndrome. Her 8th chromosome decided to replicate itself in a cytological condition known as Trisomy-8. We don't know much about it, other than "you don't want it".

Dr. DiVenuti
Dr. DiVenuti is a spunky little hematologist at NHOH in Hooksett, whom was also chosen based on Aetna plan participation and location (As well as Dr. Dan’s referral). Having learned of the ultrasound done and not seen a result, Dr. DiVenuti marched out of her office, made a phone call (I assume), and confirmed both were normal within 3-4 minutes. Another blood count was performed here, confirming not only were all three counts low, but also had declined further since Dr. Dan’s CBC. A few other blood tests were set to be run on this blood, possibly indicating a root cause and steering us away from our next appointment which was for the upcoming Friday when Lora would under go her first ever bone marrow biopsy. Needless to say, all other blood chemistry tests came back within normal range, and Friday’s biopsy was to be as scheduled.
