This is Valerie ringing the bell to celebrate her radiation completion! This is a tradition that we thought was very appropriate and signals a round of applause and cheers from everyone within ear shot of the bell.
Valerie has since completed 1/2 of her chemo and as I type is finishing her last bag. Tomorrow is a day of rest, much deserved after this crazy week. Tomorrow, Vanessa will also start the apheresis which will last for 6 hours Monday and 6 hours Tuesday. Vanessa has been having bone pain like Valerie did with the neupogen shots but is taking it like a champ. Of course, Valerie is worried about Vanessa in true Valerie form. -2 days left!
This website had a pretty good simple description of the process if you would like to read it. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bone-marrow/MY00525
