I met with Dr. Raish Thursday & I will not be doing the 3rd session of ICE chemo. Group Health Cooperative (GHC) wants me in Seattle for the 5 days of hard core chemo. & the transplant in 2 weeks. The chemo. will be from Monday, June 25-Friday, June 29 at GHC, which is in the Capitol Hill area. I will go in every morning about 7:00 am for 3-4 hours & every afternoon about 4:30 pm for a shorter treatment.

The transplant will be Monday, July 2 and they will be admitting me to Virginia Mason Hospital on Tuesday, July 3. I will be in Seattle at least one month minimum after the transplant depending on how things go. I don’t have to do the neupogon shots to produce the white blood cells anymore. Two less shots per day is good with me. =) I meet with Dr. Feldmen, the oncologist at Group Health Cooperative, Friday, June 22 to go over everything. I’m sure not ready for this. I didn’t think it would be so soon.
