Hi Everyone,
Here is the latest. I started treatment this past week with a little surgery where they replaced my old port/line and put in a double port, then moved right on to chemo. I am on a chemo pack 24/7 for four days. Then they will watch my blood and choose the optimum time to collect bone marrow/stem cells. I will be in Salt Lake for about three weeks, then I will get to go home for a week or two. As soon as I return to SLC they will hit me with SUPER MEGA doses of chemo, then start the transplant by replacing my cleaned up stem cells. That's when it gets pretty sketchy! I will be very ill especially around days 5 6 7 of the transplant. Needless to say I am not looking forward to this. The nurses have described what to expect and it's not pretty, but I do know I'm tough and can handle it (it's going back for the second transplant that will be really hard). Please continue to remember me in you thoughts and prayers, I know I can do this with help from above!
Love,
Lisa
