At 9pm Texas time, Stan started receiving his first bag of stem cells!! He is getting the second bag as I type. All is going well-- all his vital signs are good. He will now be O positive bloodtype and hopefully his spirits will be positive as well! Some people here say that the day you get your stem cells is your second birthday---Stan is campaigning for TWO parties and more presents ! We'll see how good a patient he is for the next 100 days.
He should feel okay for about a week to ten days, then we have to watch for host versus graft disease and we watch to see if these new cells are making all the new red blood, white blood, platelets, etc. that Stan needs.
But for now--we are very happy!

Glad to hear it. Very glad as a matter of fact. I've been reading some very optimistic information about SCT versus even the advances in bone marrow....really exciting stuff.
Does the hundred days start today?
