Yesterday I arrived back at Barnes Jewish for my 8 days of Chemo to totally wipe out my bone marrow to get my body ready to recieve my new bone marrow next Monday. It has not been bad so far. I have received 5 doses of 16 of one drug and then will get 12 doses of another drug later in the week. By Sunday my body will be back to "0". They tell me that I will become very sick next week and they seem to have this down to a science so I should believe them. Mostly right now I am trying to get used to the boredom and the concrete buildings. This floor is not like the 6th floor where I was in April, it is very quiet and there is almost no one out in the halls or down the the family lounge. I think that everyone is very ill and in there rooms for protection. Just makes it very hard to pass the time and I have thanked God for computer, telephones and technology today. It is so very hard to go from doing just what you want when you want to stuck in a very small hospital room and no one to talk to, there is only so much reading and crosswords that a person can do.
I will try to update everyday which I am able.
