Transplant day has come! Everything went smoothly, just experienced some mild nausea and a little weird taste during the stem cell infusion. There were 3 little bags of donor stem cells in total and the process was pretty quick. I napped for a while after it was all done and I’m still pretty tired.

Last night’s blood counts:

White blood cells: 0.6

Hemoglobin: 9.3

Platelets: 28 (currently receiving another unit of platelets to get count above 50 to help with stopping menstrual bleeding)
