Hi Paul,
Thanks for supportive and kind words. I didn't realize you had been so sick leading up to your transplant other than the heart issues. I guess I should really consider myself lucky in that up until I had my appendix burst a few months ago, I was pretty healthy. I am trying to remain positive and keep thinking about how the surgeon told me in a few weeks I would feel better than I had in months. I just mainly worry about the effect on my kids. It's really tough if your mom is in and out of the hospital for months. Even though they ae teens, I can see the effect.

The surgeon told me that they had no problem with me getting the stc in 4-6 weeks, but I do need to talk to my oncologist next week because they really want me to start chemo again.

LOL on the coffee date - I look forward to it!

How are you doing? Are you still at the hotel?
