Transplant Day & Day +1

Was the theme of the day! At 1 pm as scheduled, my cells arrived and we started the process. Everything went fine. Didnt have any reactions, not even got sleepy with all the premeds...lol I wanted to see and be aware of everything that was happening. The nurses brought me a little bag with candies and other things to celebrate life and my re-birth. Pictures say more than words...so here are some...

Tank with my Stem Cells

Stem Cells entering my body...yay

It was a great and exciting day!!! Now I have a new Birthday....! which I will always remember....lol

Day +1

I did have a little bit of fever overnight, they called the doctor and tested me in case I got something during the time my cells were down. This morning he said everything was fine, it was just a late reaction to ATG treatement and it was not related to transplant, nothing to worry about.

My plateles were down, so he did order a unit of blood to be given, plus all the other meds that are needed to keep numbers in order. I had my last chemo this evening!

I asked him what's next? and he said...We are done!! lol now comes recuperation and you are doing great so far and then go back to normal life....lol 

I just had to laugh ...I dont think I remember what that its like...lol 

I feel great and Im happy that this part is over... I'll follow all the rules for as long as they want me too... they really know what they are doing!!
