stem cells it is
Just got word that my donor does not wish to take part in the study and is only willing to donate stem cells, so stem cells it is! Monday I start the lab work, x-rays, EKG, etc. Also one more BMB, then will be having catheter put in. Mom has reserved one of the villas and will be staying there as often as possible. Question - someone I know who has been through a transplant mentioned something about a nasty smell during chemo and that I need to bring hard candy, gum, whatever to combat it. Anyone had a similiar experience?
My chemo drugs will be Cytoxan and Busulfan, with daily doses of Dilanpin (for siezures) This takes place over 5 days, then 2 days radiation, followed by a day of immunosuppression drugs. February 18th - day "O."
