Quick update

Well... here I am.  All done with chemo and getting ready to get my cells back tomorrow.  Wo-hoo!  The chemo wasn't as rough as I thought it was going to be (granted it was no picnic either) but I made it through.  I just had two days of "rest" for my body before I get my cells back.  Overall I feel pretty decent, unless you count the constant nausea.  Luckily they have a wide variety of meds to give me to treat it.  The real fun will be tomorrow around 10am, when they start infusing my stem cells back into me.  I have to have some done in the morning, and some done in the afternoon (since I collected two different ways).  I've already been told that I'm at rock bottom... I have a neutrophil count of zero right now, and I'm pretty tired.  So I'll be interested to see how this makes me feel, and how long it takes my body to start bouncing back.  So I'd appreciate some positive thoughts and good vibes for the process!  Thanks to everyone that has sent me a kind thought, word, card, book, or gift... I really appreciate everything.  Since tomorrow will be my re-birthday (day 0), I'll have something new to celebrate every year.  Above all though I wish I was home with my family!  XO
