day 8
today the chemo is really taking hold over me. the pooping and vomiting. i am tired quite a bit. today i needed to get a platelet transfusion-so that was benadryll and tylenol and steroids-i need to take steroids because i have had an allergic reaction to getting platelets...so it's been icky of going to the toilet-and then vomiting-and then needing ativan to help with the nausea. In about 7 days, I will be getting a bone marrow biopsy to see if I am back in remission. which hopefully I will be in.
I want to set up a fund raiser-auction/type fundraiser type thing.
I got news yesterday that I will be able to go in for my transplant-mid-late february. It is a 9 out of 10 match and there is a donor. So after the recovery of this, I will be shortly admitted to Hackensack.
I will get another round of very intensive chemotherapy. And then the transplant-I will be in the hospital for 3-5 weeks.
This is very good news. I am scared-and it will be hard-but I am going to beat this.

Hi Jenn - You must be feelling so horrible. We can only imagine how Aiden is going to react to his chemotherapy when he enters transplant. Keep your chin up ... it is so wonderful that you have a 9 out of 10 match! We're thinking of you! The Berges Family
This is not for my actual transplant now. This is a chemo round before that one because my leukemia had started to go into my bloodstream at a more rapid rate. This is what they are calling my reinduction chemo. I have to get through this one. Recover and then go into hackensack. Do the chemo before the trasnplant and then trasnplant-I am thinking of Aiden so much.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Flonase?
