homeward bound

Today is the day. Its 9:30am and I am patiently waiting for the doctor to come and discharge me. I also am getting the hickmann catheter taken out of my chest today, what a relief, i have had it for more the 5 months. I probably wont be out of here until this afternoon but thats ok. I am feeling ok today. still a bit queasy, they switched all my antibiotics to pill form and they are kind of harsh on your belly especially since i have no food in there. i still have no appetite but im hoping my moms home cookin will snap me out of it.
my doctor isnt sure yet if i will need radiation, i will have scans in about a month and then doctor forman will re-evaluate my case and since i responded so well to the first transplant, i might NOT need radiaiton. that would be so amazing. that would mean that this is my last treatment, ever!! but ill have to cross that bridge when i come to it. the thing about having cancer (or just being sick) is that you really have to take it day by day, you cant get too far ahead of yourself because then you can be let down if it doesnt work out your way. so i am going to take this month off, get my strength back, hopefully visit with all of those who read my blog :) and really concentrate on growing some hair, haha.
i love you all, see you soon!!
carpe diem
