I’ve been resting since transplant day. The fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite come and go. Keeping my hemoglobin above 8 seems to help, so the doctors agreed today to change my parameters so that I get blood when my hemoglobin is 8 or lower instead of 7.

Tomorrow and Saturday I will get more chemo to prevent graft vs host disease. I’m expected to feel the worst during the couple weeks that follow until we start seeing my white blood cell counts come back up.

Last night’s blood counts:

White blood cells: 0.3

Hemoglobin: 7.7

Platelets: 53
