6 days from transplant..

They changed my chest line out. No problems. The nurse kept humming
"That's the way I like it" by KC and the Sunshine Band. She told me
disco was very big in the Philipenes sp? Years ago. It was the best
line exchange I had had-- so that's why she kept singing the song.

The orange covered bag below is my first chemo drug "carmustine" and
is going through my veins as I type this... The next 4 days consist of
very large doses of etoposide and cytrarabine. Day before transplant
is Melephalan. Then there will be 2 doses of Rituxian. A lot of drugs!
But it takes a lot to kill off someone's bone marrow..
