That bag on the right is the result of a full day of work! As we hoped and prayed for, this was a stem cell harvest day. I had healthy blood numbers when tested this morning so the harvest went ahead. I will know tonight whether they have enough. If they need more, we will do it again tomorrow. Prayers of thanks for a successful day! Breaking news: I just heard that they were successful harvesting enough stem cells for two transplants. I don't have to give myself more needles and I don't have to go in tomorrow!! Very happy about that.
Brian’s diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma was in May 2018. The initial treatment was a stem cell transplant. After 30 months there was a relapse, followed by chemo, another relapse, new chemo and yet another relapse. In January 2024, the 4th treatment began. Brian currently gets weekly injections of an immunotherapy drug. Sometimes we keep the faith and sometimes we need family and friends around us to keep the faith for us. This blog is about enabling us all to be kept in the faith.
