Tomorrow to John Hopkins again

Tues, Wed and Thurs are in JH for more procedures and training for me. This has been a very hard weekend and today is the same. As the date draws closer for Adele, she is reading about everything and rethinking the procedure. I am sure she will be OK once we get there and talk with the Doctor on Tuesday. But until then, now has been tough with much stress.

Tues is blood work, Doctor, consent forms and training for the caregiver - yours truly.
Wednesday is implantation of her second catheter, this time on her right upper chest.
Thursday is a Rituxan treatment - she has had that with every chemo treatment, so no problem there.

Back on Saturday evening for Sunday and Monday. The stem cell mobilization starts then with a Cytoxin treatment and daily shots of growth hormone, all to get the stem cells growing faster.

More later - as the week progresses. Rick
