So I'm waiting for my white blood cell count to go up to 3. Apparently it crashes to near zero before bouncing back up. Once it goes up to about 3 or so, they think you have enough stem cells for collection.
My bones started hurting today. Apparently that's a sign that the drugs are working (the bone marrow produces so many stem cells that it starts leeching into the blood, causing the pain). It's not very fun, but tylenol seems to be helping!
