Fighting cancer is a never ending battle and it often seems like an uphill battle, but big steps have been made to get rid of mom's cancer. This week mom has begun the first step of her bone marrow transplant by having her stem cells harvested. This process took a total of five days. It consisted of having a shot everyday at the hospital, a catheter placed in her neck, and a day of collecting stem cells.
The stem cells will now be frozen until they are used for the transplant. The exact date of the transplant has still not been determined. Praise the lord that the stem cells were abundant and that the harvesting only lasted for a day. Keep the prayers coming for a smooth, safe, and successful bone marrow transplant.
