My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

The Harvest

Today was long but not to bad.

I was connected to the machine that goes bing for about 5 hours and in the end we had all the shiny and clean stem cells we needed. They will now be frozen for up to 10 years. I hope I never need to use them.

I feel ok although pretty washed out. Pleased its all over.

In a couple of days I will be back to normal.

Sorry about that smile. I think I was nervous!

That’s what stem cells look like. Reddish/yellow.

    Serg, really great news.
    I have been re-reading the entire blog collection for the second time over the last ten days and I have found it so interesting on many levels. Not the least of which is the honesty in the writing which I really enjoyed. It is such a poignant account of such a personal journey.
    I still can’t believe you lead such a hectic social life, full of dinners and gatherings with family and friends. What must it be like when you are fully fit?

    • Thanks Terry

      I have been told I live a “big life” before. I am not so sure. The entertainment is a big part though of who we are. It’s a little crazy this time of year though.

      Cheers
