It is Day Zero!  It is the END of chemo, and cancer.  Today I will get my stem cells back.  One of the nurses whished me a happy birthday!  I suppose, today is my second birthday.  I like the idea of two birthdays!

I am feeling fairly OK still.  A little tired, but otherwise fine.  I make sure I get up, have a shower, get dressed out my pyjamas, and go for a walk every day.  I will be doing this as long as I can, and my blood counts allow me.  I try and stay away from my bed as much as possible during the day.  This morning, I am having my breakfast in the Day Room, away from my bay.

I am also moving beds today, still in the same bay though.  A girl got to go home yesterday, and her bed is by the window and away from the air-conditioning, which blows ice-cold air during the night, so I am moving to her bed.  I am still trying to get my own room…

At the moment, I am getting 4 hours of intravenous fluids before the stem cells.
