Good morning, Diane…just breathe… I know you’re holding your breath the next couple of days and clenching your tummy muscles, right? The anticipation is the worst.

It really does seem to melt away once you’re enveloped in the atmosphere of your BMT care team. Instead of being on the ‘outside looking in’ you’ll be part of the tour, just along for the ride. There’s something soothing about no longer having to make the heavy decisions. My team, especially my doctor, encouraged me to let go of any worries. To let him and his team worry for me. That it was his job to take over any concerns so that we (husband and I) could just focus on healing and recovery. That was the best thing he could have said. I never lost a night’s sleep because of worry and felt the full competency of my team.
I’ll be thinking of you Friday and beyond…as you embark on your journey, seeking a 2nd chance at life. You’ve got this gurl! I’m here, along with our BMT posse, ready to toss a lifeline whenever you need! Sending an air hug and positive vibes of strength, courage and humor. ☺️
