Day 39

I'm having severe cramps and bone pain in my left hip. Joanie and I will be seeing the doctor tomorrow and consulting with Hackensack to see if there is something I can do alleviate the pain. The local oncologist wants me to get a complete blood count. I guess she wants to see what my white blood count is and if I'm becoming a little bit anemic. I'll also check with Hackensack on the timing for the donor kits and when they will be sent out. Anyway, the good news is that all of my test results seem to be going in the right direction for the autologus stem cell transplant they want me to go through first.
