My PET scan showed that the radiation worked on my L5 (spine), but unfortunately displayed several new spots. The stem cell transplant was postponed. I was admitted to OSU on Saturday, August 3rd and just finished a five-day chemotherapy treatment to tackle new areas. I was treated for pneumonia too. I remain at the hospital, as this is my "bad week" (immediately after chemo). This way, they can control infection or fever. I have another PET scan next Friday, August 23rd. If looking good, a new transplant date will be determined quickly...I'll update the blog when I know more. I am anxious for the transplant and cannot wait for things to get going... Afterwards, my hospital stay will continue for several more weeks.
Also, a big THANK YOU to the Fedigan Family (Mom's family) for the huge poster with the encouraging words and signatures, from the recent family reunion. I loved reading the messages! It put a big smile on my face :)
