DAMAGE CONTROL
I have been cancer free for a while. I had the second transplant to reduce my risk of relapse. Wednesday was my 100 days post transplant.
It wasn’t until today where I felt confident to say I AM CANCER FREE. I am stronger and maturer because of this experience. I hope everyone will wear a bow in memory of my diagnosis on october 14th.

I have become obsessed with the hunger games books. I am only on the second book, but OMG i can’t wait until the movie comes out on march 23rd.
Which happens to be the same day that my region’s event, TheVENT, starts. NFTY is a big part of my life! I mean I met my best friend at a NFTY camp, and its really easy because we are in the same region. We had this joke from camp, we are twins….Amy is our first name, Our last initial is W, and we are both from MAR, which is the best region ever. I love her to death and I could not ask for a better friend. She is the one on the left with the white bow :)

YES!
Today is day 14, which means that exactly two weeks ago, I recieved my own cells back. Yesterday was the sign of engrafting, because my absolute neutophil count (or ANC) was over 500, which means that my body is excepting the cells I got back. Your ANC needs to be above 500 for three consecutive days before I am concerned fully engrrafted. THEN, here’s the best part, I will be outpatient until my next transplant, unless I get an infection (knock on wood). During my outpatient time, I will be going through some radiation treatment to kill off any remaining cancerous cells that are still in my body.
I have been busy the past couple days, painting my nails, shopping online, and slacking on my homework. I determined for the next two days to focus on my homework since I am meeting with my new teacher today, I want to show her that I want to work. I haven’t felt this good in a really long time. But I am just not exactly has “happy” as I used to be. I still might be still denying it to myself that I am sick. I just feel like I just lost all my independence, like I can’t even walk the hallways of the unit be my self. I want to go back to school and have that hour to myself where my parents aren’t home.
My “REAL” Birthday is 38 days :) there is a Duke Lax Game that day, it would be awesome to go and wear my awesome penny signed by the team! But I hoping my doctor will clear me for the food, because I wanna go to the melting pot for my dinner!
