End of 4th Cycle, Next....Stem Cell Transplant

Tomorrow is my last treatment of my 4th Cycle. I must say it has gone quite quick, although thinking of it, Pretoria East Hospital has become like a second home, or perhaps second office, as I spend time working on my laptop making calls etc.. while under treatment. 

I then have about 2 weeks off...and then the biggie!

I start with Stem Cell harvesting on the 6th Feb, So I will be hospitalized for 2 weeks, I'll also be receiving some heavy Chemo in this time, so I guess there goes the hair. After the harvesting process, I'll have 2 weeks off, whereafter I'll check in for another 2-3 Weeks for the transplant. 

The treatment that I have received so far has been very effective, and has brought my cancer levels to normal. My back is recovering very well! I must say I feel very good as far as that is concerned. I've started spinning at gym, although taking it very easy. I see how my budies are all training for Sani2c, to think that was me a year ago! So the challenge is that I'm back on my bike for next years Sani2c, by Gods Grace! Which I firmly believe!

I really appreciate all the support that I have received from everyone, even though in February and March, I'll be in isolation, I really appreciate you support in my absence. I think visitors are limited due to the risk of infection. While in hospital, I will be able to take my laptop, books, etc..I even think I will take my guitar (with ear phones).  The whole process is unfolding, and will know more within the next two weeks or so.
