Day 7

Wonderful Day. Just peachy.
Noriko came to visit today. It was both wonderful and stressfull to see her. She was here when the doctors did their rounds this morning and asked them questions that I had never thought of. She stayed all day and we chatted about what we should do to keep life as normal as possible for the kids sake. We disagreed on some items and agreed on others. In all, I think I have a very good wife.

She was also here for the late briefing we got after the doctors checked a sonogram I had done on my liver earlier that day. This time, I would have preferred she had not been there, though I am grateful that she was.
It seems that I have a severe cirrhosis of the liver possibly caused by Hepatitis C which was most likely contracted through a back yard tatooist I went to when I was 15 years old.

This makes me more or less untreatable as the liver is needed to filter out the dead blood cells. If the liver don't work, the chemo don't work. If I don't get the chemo the leukemia kills me. All this has to be properly confirmed   which will be done by more scans on bigger machines.

Looks like I'm dead in 3 months or less.
