It has been a wild two days. I can’t tell you how many doctors and tests I have had done, but things are looking good. I have learned these test are more of a “base line” then a pass/fail kind of thing. They will use this info to determine how things are going as we go through the transplant. This is not to say the doc’s are not looking closely for any “signs” to say this is not the right time to start. The most interesting news is that we finally a true hospital admin date, Feb 7th. I really will not have treatment on that first day. I will be getting my new 3 loom catheter put into my chest (to help with all he meds and blood draws) . This guy is really going to be my friend as I can expect to keep him for about 4 months. Right now I am recovering from another bone marrow extract and collecting all my urine for 24 hours (not sure what they are testing with all that), so it is going to be a slow weekend. I will return to Mayo on Wednesday for more tests. It seems like we have been at this for some time now, but I can finally say that I see the STARTING line, and we are revved up to go. Let’s just hope the finish line goes quick.
I have the 7th circled on my calendar! Keep up the good work, it'll be here before you know it! :0) Oh and btw, I love the new profile picture!!
