Day 2 of chemo done (day -6)!!! Feeling pretty well. Walking a mile each day so far and doing in room arms, legs and core exercises. Food doesn’t taste too good but making myself eat what I can along with supplemental protein drinks. Three more days of chemo (they give it at 5am!), two days of rest then Friday is the Transplant Day! I am needing platelets every few days. Haven’t needed blood (hemoglobin) for a few weeks. That is expected to change as the chemo does its job of killing cells both bad and unfortunately good ones too. God is in control and we see His hand in so many ways here. Our inpatient doctor, Dr Khouri, is very good, lots of experience and knowledge. He is with me through the next week. The nursing staff become friends quickly. The support staff has been amazing-from patient care techs to food service to housekeeping. Truly such a caring team of people. Truly a God ordained thing that I am here at MD Anderson for such a time as this. Thank you for all your prayers and support. I feel it all the time! Kay
