Finally home

Sorry, its Saturday and I'm finally giving an update. Thursday went with flying colors. On Wednesday got a call from Doris (nurse collecting stem cells). Was excellent news, from Wednesday collection got enought stem cells for 2 treatments. The other bonus was that I did not feel to bad Wed night as compared to Tuesday night, just had a slight headache. Back to Thursday went and did normal bloodwork like I have been every other day. It was decided by my doctor to finish with stem cell collection. Reason being is that enough stem cells are collected for only two sessions but by collecting more on Thursday I would have a greater volume of stems available for each session. The stem cell collection only lasted for 3hrs this time and then I hustled back downstairs to have a blood transfusion completed. Needed another 2 pints on blood and was hoping that would be able to get both pints done that afternoon. Was very happy because there was enought time to get both pints done that afternoon. That meant that I got to finally go home. Got home fairly late, 10:00pm.

Friday, finally at home. Feels really good. Really happy to see the kids and kick the cat. Not to much happened Friday. Pretty wore out. Went to see family doctor real quick at 9:00 and got some pain killers and anit-inflamortaries for my back (whick work really well). Colin B. stoppped by for a quick visit and I went for a ride with him. The afternoon went by quick, crawled onto the couch shortly after one and slept until 4.

Here I am Saturday morning finallly typing away. Fell pretty good this morning other that tired, can see a cat nap coming as soon as I done picking away at keyboard.

Back at cross cancer for May11 for first treatment session. Keeping fingers crossed and hopefully will require the one session to kick this dose. Suppposed to be in for 3 weeks so expect to be coming home for the 1st week of June. As recovery goes will apperantly be Please remember that if you are coming by that your health is top notch, I be be very susspetible to illness from I am told. Also FYI the first weekend might be a poor time to visit. The first part of treatment is I get a very hard dose of chemo which I was guarenteed that I would be sick, just not sure how sick. Told that that by weekend is when I would really feel effects so that is why suggested vistors might not be a good idea.

I just want to say once more thank you to veryone for their support. Will talk to you all later, its nap time.
