Nicole's Memorial Service
I am starting the process of the bone marrow transplant. The process before I even get it is anywhere from 3-6 months. The actual transplant will consist of me getting the hardest chemo and radiation to completely kill all bone marrow in my body. Then I will be given the transplant that will be followed by 3 weeks in a room that only has air flowing through it. Basically I'll be a girl in a bubble. The last part of the procedure I will have to stay in a hotel/motel that has to be 15 minutes from the USC hospital with a friend/relative who must stay with me 24 hours a day for at least 3 months. To be approved for the bone marrow transplant I have to show that I have someone who is willing to sacrifice that amount of time and funding for the hotel/motel (which we know is more than just a place to stay but food, gas, etc). I have to have this transplant to ensure my life. There is a mutanitage in my leukemia that makes it to where not having this transplant could lead to me not surviving cancer. I have found my amazing person who is willing to be my help during the 3 months. Please help me raise money for our place to stay and things we will need during that time. EVERY bit helps. Please friends pass this around to everyone you know. I appreciate everyone of you & THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
