in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1
Well the Neupogen shots have done the job. My numbers were good enough to collect, so I sit here all hooked up to this machine just a pumping away. Keep your fingers crossed that today we get enough. I should know how many we get by around 5pm tonight. They are shooting for 2.5 million cells for every kilogram of body weight which I think is around 60. All I know is they want a bunch of them.

I'll check back later.

Take care everyone,
Beth

    Harvesting
    Well its past 5 o'clock so I guess they are thru. I hope they got all they needed. This is like a learning experience for all of us. We can learn thru you what the process is all about. Good Luck and keep us informed. How do they harvest the cells. Thru your blood and filtering I am assuming,but do not know for sure. Do you just lay there and blood is filtered like a kidney machine. May all sound stupid,but I don't know the process. John
