Good morning! Two down and three to go, huh? I was going to suggest Zofran or one of the other meds, ‘just in case’. I was all cocky the first two days and then by day three, there were hints of that lovely feeling. Hopefully you don’t have that. I’m not sure what your chemo is at this point. Different protocol/different clinic. So you may not have the side effects. If you do, just remember, it’s not forever. Small comfort when you’re in the middle of feeling like crud. 😉

I suppressed a chuckle when you mentioned bowel movements. That seems to be the huge topic of discussion when you’re having a transplant…Every day i was asked over and over. LOL. Sometimes I answered with a bit of humor like; ‘all the friends were holding hands and jumped in the pool singing kumbaya”. And other days, “Friends decided to stay in for the day”. Or, “Everyone is running off the cliff like lava is chasing them” 😂.

I’m actually on my way to Rochester today for my 5 year post-transplant visit!! My official SCT date is near the end of June but this is a big milestone so I’m excited to check in with my transplant doctor and team tomorrow!! Good luck as you enter day three!
