Oct. 28th

Mouth is slowly starting to get better still can't eat or drink but should be able to in the next couple of days. The news of the day is that my counts are starting to come in with the new cells!! They have doubled from yesterday and should keep getting higher. Once they go up a bit more and my throat gets better I should get sent home. I'm hoping that's sometime early next week!

Day 10!

It's been ten days since the transplant! I'm still in the hospital because I've started to feel some side effects from the chemo and the big one is mouth pain. So for now I'm getting all my meds through iv and am also probably going to need liquid nutrition sometime in the near future. When I'm able to eat and take meds by mouth I'll be out if here and back at the apartment. It's been a really good experience here so fat the nurses and doctors are all super nice and more importantly know what the heck they are doing. I never thought I'd say this but I'm missing school even missing the midterms! I hope people are actually checking this blog out. Just want to let everyone know it's going really well and only 90 more days until I'm back in sask and enjoying the -30 degree weather!!

New cells! Oct. 14

Today is my new cell day / birthday!! Getting the cells in a matter of minutes!! The first step to a full recovery

Last day of chemo!

One more bag of chemo at 11 this morning to finish it up. New stem cells should arrive friday or Saturday! Still feeling ok just battling nausea but it's alright

Day 4 of chemo complete and only one more to go. Side effects are starting to kick in feeling a little rough. It's going to get worse before it gets better but that's fine with me. New stem cells in 3 days!!!

Starting chemo this morning in preparation for the transplant on the 14th. I have been convinced to start blogging this for family and friends to be able to keep up to date with what's going on. Knowing me I'll probably be mediocre at best when it coming to blogging but I'll give it a go.

Peace
