Day 55 - MRI of the Heart Results - November 7 2011

UCH Clinical Nurse Coordinator, Christine Frodella, RN called me this evening to let me know that my MRI of the Heart done on November 3 2011 confirmed that I have a "small clot" in my heart. In reality,it was a large clot nearly filling my right atrium in my heart. She said the Fragmin injections that I am taking should prevent any further clot formation.

I will have to have my blood checked for clotting on Wednesday when I go to my appointment with Dr. Myint. I have one unexplained bruise near my Bard Power Port site in on my right chest wall. My Bard Power Port was placed on June 13 2011, so it is almost 5 months old.

Christine thought it would fine if I walked a mile each day. I'm going to ask for printed copies of my MRI of my Heart, PET Scan, Bone Marrow Biopsy,a nd Echocardiogram results on Wednesday.
