Went back Thursday for another BMB - and now Dr said if he doesnt call me Monday call him Tuesday for info on when will be admitted. I will be having 4 to 6 wks of chemo - then go to the Hope Lodge to get stronger and hopefully move onto the transplant - Now I know things never go to plan I feel right about it. I am scared - and I dont want to leave my husband and home - for the wks and still dont have my head wrapped around the possibility of being at the lodge for months ---- woke up each night and said oh no this is not going to happen then try to calm down. My biggest worry - among many things - is they say you need someone with you 24/7 at the lodge - I do not have anyone but my husband and he is not able to just leave our home and 4 dogs - who can just leave - so I am trying to find out how I can find volunteer caregivers that can stay and take me to the transfusion place --- just dont know where to find that help yet. Hope everyone is dealing w/their dx and keeping all at bay. Love to all - Susan

Susan, I so wish that I could be there for you, Georgia isn't that far from Florida! It is just Dean and I, no other family, so we understand how very difficult it is, emotionally and physically, when you don't have family to turn to.
We do have a little 13 year old Chihuahua who is "our little girl", she gets us through those overwhelming days.
We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers down here, and wish we were able to be there for you.
Lots of love and (((HUGS)))
Patti and Dean
