The Moment Has Arrived!

The day we all have been waiting for has arrived. Tomorrow I will be shifted to ICU for an autologous transplant. Please don't let the word "transplant" scare you. The doctors are not going to puncture my bone marrow to inject the stem cells. To an outsider the process would look like a blood transfusion and in essence that is all it is. The transfusion would be done in an hour's time. They would keep me under observation till evening and then shift me back to BMT Room. While in ICU I will be hands of some of the best doctors, nurses and assistants. So rest assured I am in safe hands. I am not nervous at all and feeling absolutely calm. I shall be back with a report tomorrow. Talk to you all really soon!
