Stem Cell Transplant - Take 2
Donation protected
3.5 years ago you all helped me get to Russia for a life saving Stem Cell Transplant. I came home feeling like a new woman who could conquer the world.
6 months ago, I got the news....I've relapsed. It is with great consternation that I share with you in less than 6 months I have lost 56% of my lung capacity. After spending a month in 2 super hospitals, 6 specialists let me know that I am out of options in the USA and need to go back to Russia. Imagine that.....all those doctors who thought I was crazy to go the first time....are now fully supportive because they saw first hand the miracle it did in my life. And I owe it all to my family and friends.
Currently, I am on home oxygen, chemotherapy and plasmapheresis once a week. I will be leaving for Russia February 16th, starting treatment the 18th. As of January 1st, I am on full medical leave. Prayers, well wishes....anything helps. God's Got This!
