If you have ever been to Disneyland and gone on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, you know how we are feeling right now; just about to descend down that first roller coaster slide into a dark corridor and a journey that is new to us. Don checks into a room on the seventh floor of the Cancer Center at 8 AM tomorrow morning, to begin the final part of the stem cell transplant process. They tell us Don will feel relatively well the first couple of days he is there. It takes a while for the chemo side effects to manifest themselves. Don will be given high doses of chemo on Friday and Saturday. He has a day of rest on Sunday. They reintroduce his own stem cells back into his blood on Monday. WOW. We’ll post updates every few days. We are feeling rested, content, and ready for the ride. We’ll keep our cell phones on unless Don is resting or sleeping. Don’t hesitate to call.
