Journal entry by Rachel Gollaher

I finally feel human again! After a week of sheer HELL, I’m able to stand upright for more than a few minutes. And I actually feel like laughing! I’ve missed laughing. 

So apparently, if history proves correctly, days 3-6 after infusion are the absolute worst. I’ll take that information and plan accordingly for the next time. 

Oh, and in other news, I’m starting to lose my hair already. But as thick as it naturally is, I doubt anyone will notice for quite awhile (unless they physically see me pulling out chunks at a time). I am truly at peace with it though…it will grow back. At least I won’t have to worry about much static electricity this winter. 

My babies are home from college for a while, so my heart is full. My life is blessed. ❤️
