Done! The transplant went off without a hitch; I had no adverse reactions to the new marrow. My brother did well and will be on his way back to California tomorrow. Next comes two days of 'rest' though I will still report to the clinic each day for blood work. Friday and Saturday are loooong days, 12 hours each, with a little chemo and a lot of fluids. And that will be the last of it. Blood counts will recover over the next 3-4 weeks. Have I said all this before? Chemo brain, sorry. Anyway, I appreciate the comments about looking and sounding good, but please remember that my energy is paper thin and I'm highly susceptible to infection during the next few weeks.
Again, many thanks to my brother, Fred, Steve and those to come. More soon.
