I didn’t realize he just finished a chemo round. Sounds like an injection of Neulasta coming up. Has he had that before? Works great to bring up that white count but if he has some discomfort make sure he takes some Claritin…that helps with the bone pain. I remember my last round of chemo and what felt like forever until the transplant! All I wanted was to stay healthy for that last month! I think that was the only time I actually felt anxious.

No blasts is a great sign! Reminds me of a corny joke between me and my transplant team… Life’s a blast until you find some in your blood. 😅 Limited audience for that humor.

The separation from family is tough but I promise it gets better. It’s crucial during the next few months to avoid infection whether viral, bacterial or fungal, at all cost. He’ll be back to big hugs in no time! ☺️
