Since that I've been home for about 5 months now which is much better for this environment without seeing so many sad people in the hospital. I couldnt handle it anymore there. It was still hard recovering at home. I left the hospital stuck in a wheelchair for a couple months. Of course I can walk around and nearly everything that I did last year before I got sick. I appreciate the post. Thanks! Good sir! I hope everything is going well for you too. |

Thank you! Everything has been well so far this year. I'm about passing a full year when I went to the hospital last year 12/29/09.

Hey Nick! I ran across the "OverSpun" t-shirt I bought about a year ago and it got me to wondering how you're doing...so, how are you doing? Hope you're progressing well!
Cheers!

Heres a new update for everyone-
I have said that I won't tell the rest until this all was closer.... You all know how I had cancer found in my spine and my spine earlier this year, so my doctors have called that being a "relapse" so I NEEDED a marrow transplant to help my situation for everything. I do have 3 sisters and 1 of my sisters matched me, so she was happy being my donor for my transplant. I am currently in the hospital right now this week for the prep for the transplant which includes a LOT chemo so it can pretty much blast away my immune system for any tiny bits of cancer even though while my marrow has been clear, but this makes it safer. I'm pretty much running chemo into me 24/5 until I go home. Thats the easiest explain for this week. I will be going home on friday this week, and then I have 3 weeks at home whole I recovery from this week before the transplant. I don't really need to explain the whole deal how it works, and its not some insane crazy deal because they've been doing marrow transplants for years for people. For the transplant, I will be in the hospital for 1 full month while I'm watched and my vitals and everything, so my immune system will build itself back up, and then.. I will recovery for 6 months, and then I'll be all setup. I wont need chemo again including my brand new perfect immune system since I do not see any issues coming up because its working perfect now. I've been pretty lucky having a sister with a match how excited she is helping me. Heres a random phone pic-

I will handle this. I beat all the hardest parts until this point, so I'm not worried at a bit. Thank you! I'm still having a fast recovery anyway, since my whole program was supposed to take 3 years to finish it all, but I will be totally finished about a 1.5 years at this point after the transplant.

Prayers for complete recovery bro!
I know that the chemo can really suck, but you already punched cancer in the face so this will be a piece of cake. We will try to keep your spirits up in OT |
