Day -6

Today we started the transplant!!!!!

A year of planning has finally paid off.

My mom refashioned my tank tops.  There is Velcro on the right that lets me get dressed and undressed while hooked up to the IV pole.  So comfy and so helpful.  Thank you mom!

Medicine I had today:

Rituxan

IV Benadryl

IV steroid (250 mg)

Tylenol

Excedrin

Heart Burn Medicine

I handled the rituxan well.  Only a slight headache that the excedrin took away.

Tomorrow starts the chemo.  I'll get that for 4 days.  I'll also be getting 1,000 mg of steroids!  Holy moly.  Can you say 'roid rage?

A friends mom made me this lovely shawl.  It's a prayer shawl.  While she was making it, she and others prayed over it and for me.  An awesome gift that has already been put to use. Thanks Carol!

Here is what my schedule looks like:
