Hey Everyone!
The press conference I spoke at went fabulously! I spoke with Mike Frerichs and Senator Jeff Schoenberg from Evanston, Il. My interview with CBS ended up on the news, and the CEO of a stem cell research company called ICyt asked me to do a Podcast for his company, and relay my story. I am someone who has been affected by the stem cell situation in two instances, so it makes me happy to be able to talk and help others.
I went downtown to an infectious disease doctor yesterday to discuss my immunizations. I won't be ready to get them until May. However, I did get a flu shot. I think I am having a reaction to the flu shot right now because I woke up achey, tired, headache-ridden and crabby. I guess my chances of the flu shot actually working are very slim because of my immuno-suppression. That is why they wouldn't give me a pneumonia shot yesterday. Why inject the viruses if they won't work?
Last night, we saw my cousin Chris who is a fireman in Austin, Texas. You should hear some of the stories he was telling us. Yikes! Those guys see everything. It was good to see him though, as I only see him about once a year. He just bought a new house, so maybe I will go down and visit!
Have a good day!

Thank you for speaking on behalf of SCT research. I am someone who benefited from my twin sister's stem cells on July 4, 2006. It was a rare procedure as twin transplants are rare and I was very fortunate. It has been over 120 days since my transplant and I'm doing very well.
Best wishes to you.

Dear Anne,
I have been keeping up with your blogsite as well, and you had your transplant on July 4, right? I am just two months before you on May 1, 2006. I hope you are doing well, and keep up your good spirit!
