We spoke to the Doctor just a short time ago and he told us that we could plan on going home (as long as there are no complications) on NOVEMBER 18th) (little did he know that I had already booked the plane tickets!!!!) Hooray!
Stan has a ways to go yet in terms of adjusting and decreasing his meds. He (unfortunately) is suffering many of the side effects of withdrawal from the steroids (low blood pressure,extreme weakness and fatigue,flu-like feelings,weak muscles and tremors of the hands and legs,and IRRITABLE!) BUT in spite of all this--it is still a step in the right direction--and that is going HOME!!
So, it is day 73 after the transplant,but we have 23 days to go!!!!

Stan and Leslie: Oh sounds soooo familiar. Don't worry this too shall pass. Adivan helped with my shaking and wanting to iron at 3AM even though I hate to iron!!! On a brighter note, I am leaving in an hour for the MMRF (multiple myeloma research foundation) gala in Greenwich, Ct. with my daughters. Lance Armstrong is receiving the spirit award. Ann Cury, Geraldine Fererro, Deborah Norville etc. will be there and they will raise mega tons of money for research to hopefully find a cure for my cancer. It has to also help in research for your cancer because they are both blood cancers. (does that make us cousins?) Remember this: you are out of the dance for a short time and I now will attend a black tie dance (event) to find the cure. I was where you are and have come a long way and so will you. Give it time and think of me tonight as I am back in the dance.
Blessings, Donna W.
