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.

Second Harvest
Well, must have been the moon, wasn't quite right. Had to come back to the medical center last night around 8:00 pm to get three more shots. After they counted my cells they only had 2.4 million cells. This is enough for the transplant but the doctor wanted enough for a tandem transplant that may be needed 6 months down the road. The cells will be frozen until they are needed at that time. So,we are back at the blood bank this morning for another cell extraction and hopefully another 2 million plus cells.
