Well in less than a week my next journey will begin. I am getting more and more excited and more and more anxious and nervous as well. But mainly I am thrilled of the thought of being free from this illness. I go in one Oct. 3rd and start my chemo and ATG treatment, then on the 10th I will have the actual transplant. The doctors are now saying that instead of a definite loss of fertility it is only a possibility now. That also means that menopause is only a possibility as well. This was very good news. I just turned 26... menopause doesn't sound fun. I was also told that I may or may not lose my hair. (Are you getting the picture yet? They basically can't tell me anything definite heh.) My mom works her last day at her job this Friday and will take over in taking care of Z. He has therapy 4 times a week. Luckily PT, DT, and OT are all in home! We only have to leave for aqua therapy. B who had been planning on working during my transplant (only because financially we cant afford for him not to) decided that he doesn't care about the bills and that he's going to take a leave of absence. I cant blame him, God knows I wouldn't want to work if he was going through something like this. I will try to update this site as often as I can. It all depends on the internet connection in my room. I've been admitted there 5 times and 3 of those times I had a great signal. I will ask for prayers if you're the praying kind. Honestly this is all in Gods hands. I have a deep sense of peace that everything will work out... but hey who goes into something thinking that their not gonna make it? ;) Talk to you soon!

You definately have my thoughts and prayers. I hope things go well, and will eagerly wait for an update.

LG my friend,
all thoughts and prayers are with you. For whatever it's worth, I too have very good feelings about your outcome. I'm glad your family is rallying around you and that Z will be in excellent care - one less thing for you to worry about. Please email me with updates when you can. I know it will be hard on you but when you get to the other side - oh boy - PNH free! It will all be so worth it.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I look forward to reading your blog for updates and hope that EVERYTHING goes really well. Kind regards, Jodi xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you too. The rewards of this journey are going to be great though I know the ride will be bumpy. I'm with you in spirit and waiting for updates as you're able to write. Be strong! Best wishes to you and your family.
Hi, Lucky-- I followed Dana's link over and have read your posts from time to time. Just wanted you to know you're in my prayers.
