1-11-2016 Stem Cell Transplant Pics & Video

Well I got my Stem Cell Transplant at 2pm and with all the prepping and so on it only took 45 minutes. Everything went so well I can post videos shortly after.

It was amazing to see the process in person. My Stem Cells in the bag and the nitrogen chamber that they were in. They looked different than they did when they were collected. They go through a treatment process which I can't remember all the details of before I get them back.

I had 4 bags that had to be injected through a unique process because I have a PICC line and not an access port. Then actually pump the Stem Cells back into the IV with another syringe. They could do it another way, but it would take around an hour per bag. This picture is almost like I'm saving my own life cause their my Stem Cells. I'll find out more about when I get my baby shots and so on later. That's how wiped my immune system was. I'll consider it that my body never knew it had cancer and leave it at that.
