Mixed Bag
Karl, congratulations on having the drilling over and enough stem cells collected for your transplant. Too bad your procedure has been delayed but we certainly don't want a relapse within 3 months! That would be awful.
Sometimes my husband calls me Ziggy because I'm always looking for the bright spot, but at least you can be home for Christmas. And maybe your magic pills will have you feeling well enough to enjoy it.
I am so thankful for your Doctors and their determination to kick your lymphoma once and for all. And you do have the type that is curable. And you do plan to live forever.
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Rocquie

Sorry you have to wait...
Hi Karl,
I know 8 weeks sounds like a long time, but it will go by faster than you think. I hope the Revlimid gets you where you need to be for the transplant. I shuddered when you said they drilled in your hip and it was painful. I remember all too well how painful my BMB was and swore I will never have another one done unless I'm sedated....like in "knocked out" sedated
I'm so glad they were able to harvest enough cells.."yea"! You take it easy now and just relax and enjoy the holidays. Thanks for letting us know...I was wondering how things were progressing with you. You have a very Merry Christmas Karl.
Best wishes...Sue (FNHL-stg3-grd2-typA)

Keep it up
Karl,
Whew....you have had some setbacks, but think positive and that it's all for the best...Waiting must be hard, but hopefully you can find something to do to entertain you. You have been hanging on and seem to be taking every twist and turn in stride. I personally don't know what it is like to be drilled into, but I can only assume that it isn't something that one cares to repeat...lol..I would however go through everything that I have endured again if it was possible to make sure that none of my family and friends would have to deal with what I have. I haven't been on too much recently, but I try to keep updated on people and their treatments.
Keep In touch
XXXOOO
