Stem Cells Returned Today and a New Birthday has Emerged. (So they tell me)
High Dose Chemo (Malphenlen) was administered on Tuesday. My previous experience with this resulted in extreme nausea and vomiting non-stop for several hours. That was also the time my heart stopped for just a jiffy due my "Vasovagal syncope" That little episode resulted in a temporary pacemaker being installed and getting crazy infected within 5 days. This time I had nausea but they pulled out the big guns and were able to keep in under control thus far, Tuesday I arrived at the hospital, Day Two was chemo, day three day of rest battling the constant nausea. They 3 today...still nauseated but hanging in there. I was able receive my own stem cells back this afternoon It all went well without any hitches. It is a funny thing when you get your stem cells back, there is a big celebration. Half the staff squeezes in your room to sing Happy Birthday to you! I was presented with a card signed by the staff also. Christine and her hubby were visiting at that particular momen
