Stem Cell Transplant, Day-8 and Counting...

Jim and I got up to the hospital in Denver this morning and got settled in the hospital. Then I had the obligatory lab work and chest x-ray followed by a lumbar puncture. (With a conservative estimate, Jim says that I've had 15 lumbar punctures since my treatment began in January.) I got a look at the needle today (I asked to see it). It was 6 inches long!!

I started one of my chemo drugs today, Thiotepa, which is given through a central line in my chest over 1 hour. I'll get the same drug at the same rate for 2 more days. So far, so good.

Thanks for all your prayers on my behalf.
