Nothing new or exciting to report to you today other than the fact that as of last night, I officially have a bald head. Yesterday my little fuzzy hair was getting everywhere. It was poking me through my shirt, getting all over my clothes and the couch, and the last straw was when those tiny […]

This morning when the doctor came in to take my blood sample she called me the star of the group for my high levels at my last check. Well, the star has fallen. Today at my consultation with Dr. Elias, he let me know that I am now in severe neutropenia. He thought that my […]

Only boring people get bored….said no quarentiend person ever!! Today I finally started getting a little stir crazy just watching tv and endlessly scrolling through social media and Pinterest. Problem solved after I brought out my coloring books and that passed the time quickly as Friends played in the background. All. Day. Long.  Thanks for […]

Just another day in quarantine! I woke up to the sound of our doorbell/buzzer bright and early around 7am and it was the doctor here to take a blood sample. I was happy to learn that this was just a finger poke and not a bunch of vials of blood. As soon as she left […]

What an amazing and emotional day it has been so far!! This is truly a day I will never forget. My stem cell transplant went amazing and I had a nice chat with Dr. Gomez, the head honcho over here in Monterrey. He did the honors of removing my pics line and man does it […]

You guys. I can’t believe this day is here already!!! My time here in Mexico has been better than I could have ever expected. I know I’ve got a hard week of isolation and exhaustion ahead of me but these past two weeks have been pretty smooth! It has not been without its side effects, […]

This is the final count down! Tomorrow is day 0 and then it’s all up from there!  I’m currently getting my last cyclophosphamide(chemo) treatment and the doctor just walked in to let me know that the results came back from my stem cell collection and I got 9million/kg of body weight collected and I only […]
