Stem Cell Harvest - Round 2

By Shannon | December 8, 2004

So the aphresis is finally over. My counts were very high.

On Monday they were 1,500 (low). Tuesday they jumped to 9,500. Today (Wed) they were 45,000! :) No wonder I ache so much! :)

They said they probably got a really good collection today and that I should easily make the 5.5 million mark.

So now we just have to wait until the 14th and see when my ONC wants to admit me for the Stem Cell Transplant.

I am feeling very confident that I am close to beating this. In another month or so we’ll know. :)

UPDATE: (5:00pm) Well the hospital just called. They collected 6 million stem cells from me today! That puts my total to 9.5 million! They said that will speed my graft up for sure! :)
