Day 0! Bone marrow transplant is done! There were 4 bags of marrow from my donor, and they only took about 11 minutes each to transfuse. For those who may not know, a bone marrow transplant is not a surgery. The new cells just go in through my central line just like all the chemo and other meds they’ve been giving me. Now we have the longer process of waiting for the engraftment. I’ll have 4 more days of chemo and be in the hospital for several more weeks. I’m so thankful to my donor for the gift of new life and for all of the prayer warriors who are supporting me and my family through this process!
