Well, here I am 6 days into my hospital stay. During those 6 days I've had 10 chemotherapy treatments. All in preparation for today's Big Event: The Stem Cell Transplant! It is scheduled for early this afternoon. So far, I have continued to feel pretty well. I'm certainly tired a lot, but that's my biggest "complaint" thus far. I did feel yucky for a few hours yesterday, but it wasn't too bad.
The transplant will be done here in my hospital room. My stem cells will be defrosted here, and then given back to me through my central line. Sounds like it should be pretty straightforward. The nurses have said that it takes about half an hour. During which time they monitor my vital signs closely, and afterwards too, of course.
I hope to give another update not too long after the transplant :). Thank-you so much for your continued prayers!!
Heather
