Donor Lymphocyte Infusion #2

Tomorrow is my 2nd DLI in Boston.  This one will be slightly different from the 1st one because it will be a small bag IV instead of a syringe.  Also, the lymphocytes have been frozen, so I may have pain in my arm as it is going into the IV.  The preservatives for the freezing process will make my breath smell funny for a couple days and food taste weird.  I'll try to stay way from people while I stink. The joys of this whole process!

My skin is peeling like I had a bad sunburn, but only where I got the chemo shots.  Needless to say, any time I go potty skin is flying everywhere from my stomach shots.  I'm still kind of bruised where a few shots hit blood vessels.  The good news is that they don't hurt anymore!!  Boy, this is another crazy ride!!

The number one question people ask me is...how do you feel?  The answer is...I feel good!  I'm a little more tired than usual, especially on chemo weeks.  I haven't felt this good in a long time.  Last year was suckola!!!  I'll give the history in another post.
Please keep me in your prayers and I'll keep being positive!
