Chemo & Transplant

Stem cell harvesting was completed today. With a goal of collecting 6 million stem cells over a week's time, we collected 4.2 million on day 1, and an amazing 10.4 million today. This jumps the schedule ahead 4 days, and means that the next three days will be the really big ones. Wednesday and Thursdays are the days they will kill the bone marrow, and Friday will be the day they reinject the stem cells to get the marrow going again. Thanks for all the prayers. We are truly grateful to God for how well (not necessarily easy) the past few days have gone.

    Glad to hear the stem cells responded so generously. If 6 yields 2, then 14.6 should at least double that. If more is indeed better, as in the number of transplants or reinjections, then I find this very encouraging. Wishing you all the best.
