Update re: Stem Cell Transplant

9 years ago

Well, I checked into the hospital yesterday and am in the dedicated SCT unit. My room is much nicer than the one we saw during the orientation visit. Yeah! Had my 1st (short, 2 hour) round of chemotherapy yesterday with absolutely no side effects. Just the usual nap after they administer the Benadryl pre-med to help control adverse reactions. I'll be starting today's chemo shortly, but have several meds today so, it will no doubt be longer. Still, as long as I feel okay, I'm mobile during the infusions, so still easy to do care skills like shower, toilet, dressing etc. The entire staff is very responsive to my requests, so I'm okay with being here. Besides...this "should cure" my lymphoma.

Your continued thoughts and prayers are so very special to me. Thank you.
