Another Round – This One’s Over
September 16, 2009
At 3:15 AM this morning I had my last rigor and officially finished my FLAM chemo! I had all the usual suspects…fever, nausea, vomiting and all that fun stuff. It sure feels good to be finished. However, they moved me into an isolation room because I may have developed shingles while my counts are so low. Apparently it’s not uncommon for adults with suppressed immune systems to get shingles. They’re giving me anti-viral meds so I should be all set. Thanks to everyone who helped me make it through. Now I just need to get my strength and counts back and get ready for a mini-haplo transplant in early November. Piece of cake.

I’m glad there is a clinical trial for you Jonathan and that your sister is a half match but will continue to hope and pray for a 10/10 donor to be located in time for your transplant. Unless the mini-haplo is better? I will have to read up on it as I’m unfamiliar with the procedure.
Also thanks for the messages on Tami’s site. She is also dealing with whatever comes her way. Just like you
