11/26/13 – I
must say that I didn't sleep that well last night. It is probably due to the
combination of anxiety, excitement, and the million other things that were
going through my brain in anticipation for my Stem Cell Transplant that I will
get today.
Yesterday I
did get my doses of ATG and Rituximab with a whole bunch of pre-meds.
With all
of that I did have a chance to play my guitar and even put on a small ad hoc
concert for some of my nurses… which was a blast. This brings me back to an old
thought about living in the moment. Often in things like cancer treatment you
hear people tell you to take things a day at a time, but in truth it is a moment
at a time. Enjoy the moment!
I still do
not know what time my transplant will be. I have heard that there will be a
total of 5 allo transplants today so I guess it depends where I fall on the
schedule. In truth the process is very simple. It is like getting a blood or platelet
infusion. They just have to watch me to make sure I do not have a bad reaction
to it. The expectation is that I will take in well and sleep the rest of the day
away.
I do feel
good and positive and I have my full trust in the healing powers of God.
Today
will be a good day.
Here is a link to a great song by Jeremy Camp called "Carried Me". Enjoy!
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for
it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or
forsake you.”
