Hey Guys, Sorry for falling off the map for a bit. The honeymoon ended rather swiftly, with much nausea, vomiting and fatigue, and pretty much made it impossible to do anything other than sleep in between. The fatigue wasn’t quite what I expected, it reminded me a bit of having…

Time is flying by fast and I’m not complaining one bit! I was told the transplant process is much more like a marathon than a race, but I didn’t really understand what they meant for the first few days. Even though these days can hold the potential for a lot…

Last night I got my first glimpse of what is to come when the honeymoon phase of Chemo ends. I didn’t ask for drugs early enough to curb my insomnia, which as midnight, turned to 1am, turned to 2am, turned into a massive headache with deadly nausea that felt like…

Chemo Begins! Drugs taken today: Fludarabine and Busulfan IV’s, Ursodial, Allopurinol, Dexamethasone, Ondansetron, Panatoprazole Sodium, Leviteracetum, Cipofloxacin, Gravol. Today started off hella early. They do bloodwork on the transplant floor at 6am, which at first made me wanna freaking gag since mornings are not my thing (I’m a freaking musician…

Today was so much better than I was anticipating! My husband and I stayed at the condo in Toronto last night, after jetting back to Courtice after my CVC line went in where we got to see some of our family for one last big family dinner. My amazing hubby…

The last week has been a super hella challenge and I’ve been trying my best to just make it through. I’m sorry for not giving more updates, but there wasn’t too much to update until today- mostly just lots of being sick and waiting for answers. After returning from the…

Tuesday night when we got home for Toronto, It felt like the sickness I woke up with was invading my entire body at a rapid pace. I couldn’t stop coughing and my face, all around my eyes and underneath felt like it was going to explode. It reminded me of…

Today I woke up sick as hell, and I knew trouble was definitely afoot. I either caught Bill’s sickness or picked something up along the way but I am feeling super shitty. My first appointment was at 9, and it was a consult about the total body irradiation process they…

Today was a tough but great day. Bill and I drove to St. Agatha to meet with a therapist who we worked with at a weekend retreat before we got married. The main focus of her treatments is IMAGO therapy, which looks at the wounds we carry with us from…
