*Started the high dose chemo protocol last Friday for the Stem Cell Transplant. Am trying to do as much of the transplant as out patient so that I am able to be home with Brad and the girls, but that means we must keep a very clean and very healthy household. Also pray that i do not come down with any fevers or that no one in the house comes down with anything as well. On that note - another friendly reminder for the next while about not visiting (or have us visit you) if there are any illnesses about (no matter how minor it seems to you)...
I return tomorrow (Wednesday) for my next chemo then again daily from Friday until Wednesday for 24 hour infusions. I will have my Stem cells returned to me on Thursday and hopefully a steady recovery from there. It`s estimated recovery can take anywhere from 3 to 6 to 12 months ish to recover from this procedure.
Also as discussed previously - it is likely I will receive radiation and this will be discussed further with the specialist again on October 27th.
That's about all I have to update for now. As always, thanks everyone for the prayers, thoughts and support...oh - and of course the FOOD lol :)
Love the O`Neil`s
