After days of receiving Neupogen to stimulate white blood cell growth, and two days hooked up to a blood washing machine (one arm is out going, the other incoming), I've donated more than 10 million peripheral stem cells to a patient somewhere in need. Or they're on their way to him.
I'm exhausted. The staff at the City of Hope was unbelievably kind, and my family and friends incredibly supportive. This was not an easy process, but much easier than what the recipient is going through.
With God's help, the cells will work, and the recipient will have a chance at new life.
I'll get back to Kadima next week.
In the meantime, please join the marrow registry.
