The Temple on The Hill...

Hello Everyone

I hope you all are having a wonderful day. It is sunny here in San Francisco. I have a view of the Bay this time and the water looks so blue.

From Monday, the day before heading back to the Temple

In a weird way I feel very much at home here. I guess because I spent so much time here the last round.

They started me on Chemo last night and so far I am feeling good. I’ve been told that this round of Chemo, although it is strong may not give me as many side effects.

The Transplant is still due to be done in the later part of the day on the 24th, it could be the 25th if the stem cells arrive too late in the evening. This is called Day 0, and is considered a New Birthday. I’ll keep you posted on that.

As I have said before the ideal is that there is a little bit of Graft vs. Host (Graft being the Donors Cells vs. the Host being Me) and that this occurs after I am out of the hospital.

You know I am given so much information from so many people here and at clinic that it starts to melt together. I am practicing positive conversation and asking for what I want in the most affirming way. So although all this info is important, I make sure I ask for what it is that I want to attract to myself and into my life.

My parents have been wonderful as usual and have been a great support system already. It was nice to have a lot of time with them before I came back to the hospital. We cooked meals together, went out to dinner and walks and saw my brother David in a stage production.

I want to thank all of my parent’s friends in Michigan for holding that fundraiser on my parent’s behalf. Thank you for thinking of them in that way and making this time easier for them by relieving some of their financial burdens. Thank you for giving them both all of your Love and for praying for not just my parents but for my brother David, and for Noah and myself.

Community is everything to me and Noah and I am so thrilled to see my parents supported by so many amazing people.

Thanks for reading and sharing and praying and smiling.
