Getting Closer...

On Thursday, we held the bone marrow drive on campus and we had great success with it. Lots of people showed up and gave their support, both monetarily and going under the 'swab.' So I'd like to personally thank everyone for coming out for that. I'm not going to mention the fact that the pizza they ordered made me sick afterwards, but hey, I survived.

For those that are interested, you can check out a few pictures from the drive.

I am however, allegedly done with chemotherapy though, according to my doctors. And that's been really nice. Being able to eat what you want is such a nice feeling. My biggest battle lately has been my headaches...they have been horrible. They start about 15 minutes after I wake up and are with me until I go to sleep. I've been living off of Ibuprofin. I'm scheduled to enter the hospital for the transplant on May 12th. Once my transplant is done, hopefully it will be smooth sailing from that point forward.
