Hi Everyone,
My dad is finished with the stem cell harvesting...they got around 8,000,000 cells! Overall, he is very glad to be done with the harvesting portion of the process.
He is at home resting now. He still feels very tired and has retained some water. On Monday, he has an appointment with a doctor in Chicago to discuss the upcoming process. If a bed is available and if he is feeling better he could be admitted (on Monday) to the Univ of Chicago medical center for more chemotherapy and to administer his stem cells back into the body.
I let you know how the appointment on Monday goes. Please feel free to give him a call over the weekend.
Thanks,
Michelle
HI Gary, Nancy, and everyone
ReplyDeleteWe are heading to Florence in the morning (6 hrs earlier than Chicago?) We hope you are feeling well enough to start you next round of ammo soon, and that the docs have nothing but good news for you. Hang in there Nancy, Michelle, Adam.....nothing but good karma flowing your way! Chow for now, we'll follow this while we travel along. Love, Kathy and Paul
