Documenting my stem cell transplant recommended to hopefully put me into remission. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in August 2009 and was told I should have had the procedure due to the agressiveness of this rare cancer but become too ill to have it until now. I wanted to share this with other myeloma patients so they know what they will be facing.

Discharge Day
Well they let me go home this morning, actually got out of the hospital around 9:30 today. Felt pretty good this morning when I woke up, tried to eat some of that good old hospital food but only managed to get about 4 bites in, that was good enough. They sent me packing with my 5 new prescriptions, anti viral, anti bacterial, nausea ...not sure what else. Have to take temperature four times a day and need to call into the hospital if I get over 100.4 or if I start to get the mouth sores, I think that might be grounds for another night at the spa as I call it. I am starting to feel the effects of the chemo I think, mostly just my stomach, like a rolling feeling that comes and goes. I think it might get worse before it gets better so I will close now, I want to get a few more bites in me as I don't think I will be eating anything for a few days, or very little. They want someone with me around the clock, I really must apologize to those who have this duty because it's probably not going to be fun...
