WHOHOOO HALFWAY THERE!!!

I produced 1.1454 of the required 1.5 so I need another 0.5'ish which I'll hopefully do tomorrow!!!

Waiting...

I'm nervously sitting at home waiting for my results from my latest stem cell harvest. I really hope this is it now. It doesn't need to be great just enough. The fact that I haven't been contacted yet... Not going to go there. ITS HAS TO BE GOOD!!

Migraine Scare

I think anything your body does becomes highly suspect when you have or had cancer. As I was sitting infront of the computer yesterday after my 3rd shot of Nupogen, my vision suddenly became blurry, and this was followed by about 10 minutes of visual and slight dizziness. So just to be safe I called the Oncologist rooms to check if Nupogen could have this affect. They said that it was unlikely but I need to come in and have it looked at. They set up a meeting for me at the neurologist and he promptly figured out I had a migraine. He sent me for some MRI (brain scans) but they LUCKILY did not find any cancer in my brain!!! YIPPEE!! I am however apparently prone to migraines so need to go have that checked out at some point.
I have to say it is expensive to be sick!! But hey if you have to pay for something, your life is definitly worth every penny :)

To be concluded!!

Here we go again

This week my Nupogen injections started again. And dispite actually getting a script from my oncologist, it seems close to impossible to get the shots given to you by a hospital. We have a very friendly neighboarhood GP who usually helped me out but since this time I'm getting double dose and I have to take it early morning and late evening I did not feel it was right to ask her to do it again. So now I'm giving it to myself. The first time is definitly the worse, but it helped that I was tiered and gatvol by die time I had to do it.

Anyway, so next week Monday they sticking the pencil in my neck again. Or quintis catheter as they like to call it and then on Tuesday and Wednesday its the big days!!! I need to produce stem cells this time otherwise... well I just have to.

So anyone who reads this please say a prayer for me, I'm going to need it next week!
