11/20 day 0

today is my so called rest day. day 0. i received my last chemo treatment yesterday. yee-hah. i get my transplant tomorrow evening. the predictions of my possible symptoms are all over the map. i heard everything from slight flu-like symptoms to maybe the worst i've had so far. everybody is different. you all know i'm not very philosophical, but supposedly this is a new birthday for me. reborn? i thought the world was dangerous enough with one of me. that's scary. having a very hard time wrapping my head around that one. my immune system is completely immature. diseases i had or was immunized for earlier in my life, i am totally vulnerable to. they have a detailed regime to slowly take care of this, but things like chicken pox, mumps, measles, etc. i have no immunity to. but finally, i think i'm on the last leg of this journey! wish me luck, and once again, thank you to every one's commitment to me and my family.
