Trish is feeling much better today, but she is still not feeling good yet. Still nauseous, but she is awake. Dr. Griffiths came by for a visit today. Trish was asking about her yesterday, she was in Colorado on a symposium. Dr. G was mad that they missed all the notes about giving Trish Reglan for the nausea -- I'm mad too, because I forgot about it. Anyway, she just took her first dose of reglan. So hopefully she will feel like going for walks this afternoon.
Today is day zero -- the transplant day. The donor has likely been harvested by now or maybe is still in progress and the marrow will be processed, and ready for Trish about 9:00p.m. tonight.
Again the "transplant" is just like a blood transfusion and pretty much it should be a non-event. The real event in the transplant is the first 100 days after the transfusion. We first wait to see if the graft will take, than if/when/how graft vs host disease will show up. The first 100 days are critical, the first year is tense.
Look for a late update at 9 and a little after for more news on how things are going.
