Stem Cell Transplant

The transplant occurred yesterday and now the waiting begins. With caregiver extraordinaire, Laura, nearby  it was a little creepy seeing elevated bags of chilled fluid flowing stem cells into your system that were collected and frozen a few weeks ago.  This is supposed to give Clancy a fresh start on fighting the cancer.  He's still on chemo that's working to kill off more cancer cells.  The next 10 days will be quite miserable as the drugs do their thing (side effects) and his body accepts the immature cells.  He's feeling disoriented, nauseated, crummy, tired, dizzy, achy at times and just not very good at all. Hopefully, these days will be quickly forgotten as his health improves.

Hope springs eternal and better days are ahead.
