Day minus three...That’s what my medical team is calling today. It sounds like they are going to shoot me into space on Thursday. But Thursday will be day zero, Friday is day one and so on. It’s their way of counting based on the proximity to the infusion of stem cells which does happen on Thursday.
For now, I’m getting introduced to a pile of new drugs and a machine that will pump saline into my catheter for 40 consecutive hours. I’ll hook up to the pump after taking the nastiest chemo drug tomorrow (Tuesday) morning called melphalan. The list of side effects reads longer than most novels.
Other than that, it’s been a beautiful day in Seattle with sunshine and 80 degrees. I’m trying to purchase supplies to make a generator and attempting to download an old computer game to help the time go by.
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today and hope the chemo is proceeding smoothly!
Can't wait to see more banjo practice pics on the roof of your building.
Did you get your supplies for the generator? May your computer accept the old game!
All the Nowaks are sending positive vibes and prayers!
Sharon
Thinking of you Cousin!
