6/19/2011 Chemo Down - Stem Cells come tommorow

I was admitted on Friday like I was suppose to. On Friday (Day -3, number 2) I was given my first dose of the Melphalan Chemotheraphy and then yesterday on Saturday I got the second dose of the Melphalan given to me. I made it through pretty well both Friday and Saturday and was doing well today until just after lunch when I got some nausea. Other than that propblem today, I had a pretty good day. Patty came up this morning and stayed for a while and then went back to the apartment for a while and then came up again later this afternoon and just left a few minutes ago.

So, tomorrow I am scheduled to get the second dose of my stem cells given back to me with will be come my new day Zero (0), the old one was March 24th for the first transplant. It will take a few hours to get the stem cells given back to me and I will remember to get some lemon wedges to smell during the process to lesson the smell, as some of you might remember, the preservative they store the stem cells in smells like creamed corn to most people, but different smells to some other people. Last time the lemon wedges worked very well for me only caught a few whiffs of the smell at times over the next couple of days.

Not too much else to share tonight, Happy Fathers Day to everyone out there, I had as good as I could have with calls from the kids. I (or Patty) will keep you posted later this week and let you know how things are going. Until then thanks for all you prayers and support, I really believe it helps.
