Don't anyone fall off their chair, I know it's only been two days since the last blog but thought I'd share a little more about what has happened and what could happen the next few days.
I had my fourth collection of cells today, the numbers aren't coming in as high as the doctors were hoping, as I have mentioned before it takes about 5 million stem cells for one transplant and my total after today is about 4.3 million and the totals are dropping each day. I was called to go the the hospital to get another Mozobil shot tonight and will do the Apheresis collection tomorrow as planned, but after that there is a good chance that they will tell me to go away for some time period, could be 2 weeks to let the body regenerate and make more stem cells so that the next time around we can work to get the second 5 million stem cells. Don't know what this will do to the overall time period, but we are determined to go forward and they say it's not completely surprising as some people take even much longer.
This means we may be coming home for a week or two, but won't know until Monday or Tuesday of next week what our schedule will be.
Until later, hope everyone is well and happy.
