This past Monday I went to the dermatologist. $35, a half-day of work and a quarter tank of gas to look at me for about 2 minutes and tell me the rash will go away in 2 to 12 weeks with treatment, without treatment - 2 to 12 weeks...
It's apparently caused by a virus and has to run it's course. As long as it's not itching or burning, leave it alone until it goes away.
The surgeon and the hematologist couldn't schedule common time to do both biopsies this coming week so the lymph node biopsy is still on for Tuesday. The hospital will call Monday to let us know a time. Not sure what or when for the bone marrow biopsy, but hopefully some more definite answers after the lymph node is in the lab.
Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers!!
