Well, it has been a good week for our Mom. She had the whole week blocked out for stem cell harvesting, and they managed to collect the entire five million stem cells on the first day! Hooray!
Monday was a day of being connected to a machine for collection and she was not able to even get up to go to the bathroom! Hence, no liquids for her those 7 hours.
On Tuesday, she and my Dad jumped in the car and went to Mammoth. She is so happy to be there--no skiing for her, but the weather is perfect and being in the mountains is a nice change.
Anyway, she is feeling like things are going her way. Christmas should be great, then on to chemo #6 on the 28th. Hmmm...not so sure about New Year's. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!
Thanks for the good news, Lauren, and Happy Holidays to all of you!
