Day 5 and I'm on my way (SCT)

I am at Day plus 5 and it is interesting. The Fludarbine (Day-4) was fine the first couple of days and then it hit hard in Days -2,-1 when combined with Melphalan. Since Day 0 (with addition of Methotrexate), I leveled off. It is a struggle to eat and drink in sufficient quantities. If I can maintain this feeling for about 10 more days, I will be happy.

I was walking 5 miles a day for Day -4, Day -3 then that came to a screeching halt. I do not have a lot of strength as my numbers drop. My chemo regimen is "middle of the road" from what I have been told. I did not have any radiation. I should be in the hospital for another two weeks depending on my numbers. I have greatly drawn on the information many of you have previously shared, and I thank you for that.

I wish all of you steady improvement.
