Much like the Leafs winning 3 of 4 after an 8 game losing streak... the
OPTIMISM is back! Start planning the parade, there has been some GOOD
news.
Stem cell collection went swimmingly. This was a big step as no collection, no transfer; no transfer, no luck...
I had the day's high, 309 million stem cells per unit, and as such
was able to collect in just over two hours (compared to the average of
two to three days). Based on the attempts to pregnancies ratio, all
other numbers are similarly high. Booyah! I am a manly man!
Anyway, the stem cell collection is done so step one is completed.
Now we just need the radiation to shrink the house guest who will just
not go away a few cm and we are set.
Radiation starts on Monday
and I am looking forward to it. I will be happy to just get rid of some
of these secondary symptoms that are, while not life altering, annoying
to have on a daily basis. The cough, the phlegm, the itching, the
night sweats, the day sweats, the headaches, the fast heartbeat, etc,
etc. I sound like a Nyquil commercial.
Anyway, some positive news so I thought I would share.
Cheers,
Rob
