Steady as She Goes

It is now 7 days post transplant and 14 days post admission and things are going pretty much as expected. I  have experienced various side effects from the treatments but they have been anticipated and managed by my excellent care team. I pretty much sit back and do as I am told.


Engraftment, the functioning attachment of the new stem cells, is not expected to happen for another week or so. Patience is in order, and the reading is going well, currently enjoying "The Cat's Table".

Our UBC Medical School 25th reunion is on this weekend, and I hope to attend via videoconference and send my greetings. Yeah, Class of '86!
