Thanks for checking in, Vera. I'm scheduled to have fludarabin and busulfan, too, along with a new one, campath. Do you know if you're having a mini-transplant (RIC) or a full blown one?
I'm sorry the Hickman line was rough for you. I've had mine in for a month now, and as far as I can see, having it an extra month is the only good thing to come out of my delay! Even despite having an infection almost immediately after insertion right up until yesterday, I'd still take it over being jabbed 10-15 times a week, and to me, the insertion procedure itself was TONS EASIER than a BMB...
I hope you and Bertha have an easy weekend, and not too much partying on Saturday nighht.
