Sent: Thursday, October 21, 1999 8:12 PM Subject: It's on I am now receiving the last of the stem cells from my brother. Talk about undramatic. My previous description of about 1 liter of killians is based on talking to a survivor who apparently got cells from bone marrow surgery. These are from my brother's peripheral blood, and it looks like 1/2 cup (130 cc) of diluted campbells tomato soup. Um, Um, Good. Feel free to celebrate further with a toasted chees and soup lunch tomorrow, just like I used to get on Friday's in grammar school. The bag has just emptied after about 25 minutes. I could have easily slept through the whole thing. There was a slight chance of an allergic reaction to this blood product, just like there is with other whole blood or platelet donations, but, as has been normal throughout all this, nothing is happening. If anyone is out there and wants to do converse, please let me know through email. I will be signing off in about 1/2 hour (6:40 denver time) to free up the phone, as I expect many calls tonight. More later. Dave ps: I am now an official Pisces/Libra. Somebody do my chart. Maybe I should call up the Psychics Friends network and let them stew on that one.
