Walking The Thin Man

In May 2005, I learned that I had developed amyloidosis, a rare protein folding disease. This is my story.

Day + 0: The Stem Cell Infusion

Forgive me if I can't add much to the events of today; I was drugged up for the majority of it. Essentially I had the remaining 9 million stem cells injected back into me, so that they will engraft in my system, replacing the cells that are being killed off by the chemotherapy.

I am still a little drugged from all of the medicine that they have me on, although they are allowing me to cut down on the some of the drugs that were causing me problems last night. We shall see if this will be effective.

Like the last transplant, I am slowly losing my ability to think straight and write coherent posts. I will endeavor to provide updates when I can!
