I went to Dana farber for all of my pre transplant tests and meetings. I met with a social worker, who of course wanted to talk about my feelings. I was not into that. She found out I had a good support system and left me alone. I had 16 tubes of blood drawn.
I had the pulmonary function test which was difficult for me. The breathing commands got confusing haha. I did do better than the machine predicted for me. I got an EKG which was easy. At the end of the day I had an echo and fell asleep.
I met with the transplant coordinator to discuss cleanliness and other parts of the transplant. I met with the doctor to sign consents and he also explained the transplant procedures. I don't know why he always thinks I'm going to back out or something.
I am getting admitted one week from today. I will have a line put into my chest area which is different than a port. I hope it doesn't freak me out. I will have chemo from Sat- tues. Wednesday will be a rest day and Thursday will be the day of my rebirth. I should be going home valentines day. What a treat for my husband.
