Ready for Hospital

9/9/2026

After an intense week of stem cell collection I have all of my stem cells frozen and ready to be reinserted! Tomorrow I will be admitted for about 3 weeks in hospital and chemotherapy starts tomorrow! Once we kill the immune system, the new cells will be put back in. It’s a long journey but I’m feeling strong! Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Much love to all!
