The clinic sends a nurse to the Markham House every morning to draw labs so the results are available sooner and the patient has less waiting away from the room. Nice benefit!
Deb is moving slowly but she is moving! She took her morning meds and ate a modest breakfast. The chemo has really begun to kick in. Deb is very nauseous.
The stem cell transplant is at 10:30am and is not much more than a transfusion. However, the magic has been done behind the scenes in using the human growth hormones to super-stimulate Deb's body into producing beaucoup stem cells that flood her blood so they can be collected for use in this infusion.
More later...
