Lost in Transplantation

I started the pre-transplant process on Saturday, and things are going very well.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I gave myself daily injections to kick my bone marrow into high gear. I felt mostly ok – just a little tired and head-achey. Monday night I got a drug that is designed to push all the stem cells from my bone marrow out into my bloodstream. That shot left me feeling pretty terrible, but it definitely did its work.

On Tuesday morning, I started the “harvest” (the technical term is apheresis). The harvest was scheduled to occur over three days, but my over-achieving bone marrow kicked out double the amount of stem cells they need in just one morning. I felt pretty crummy till about mid-day Wednesday from all the spiking and crashing of my blood counts, but I felt great today.

The next step is to start the high-dose chemo this weekend. My mom will be arriving on Saturday morning to keep us all in line.


Thanks for all your encouragement and support!

  3. I have being on blog Sites for a while now and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had HIV for 6 years and i never thought I would ever get a cure I had and this made it impossible for me to get married to the man I was supposed to get married to even after 2 years of relationship he broke up with me when he finds out I was HIV positive. So I got to know about Dr. Itua on Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cured and let her contact details, I contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely.
