Day 6 in hospital

10/6/2021

Transplant update: the last few days have been pretty rough, fever, chills, irregular heart functions, nausea, fatigue, etc etc. But finally feeling a bit better at the moment.
The packing in my nose from the nosebleed is finally out (it was painful and annoying) and now instead I have an oxygen tube, so glad for that switch off. The oxygen makes me feel better.
Hoping to stay feeling well, but I fully understand there’s more to go.

3 of 4 chemo sets done
2 of 4 biotherapy done
Up next, finish the chemo and biotherapy then radiation then donor transplant cells then recovery.
