Something so important

Hi There,
I know that not many people check my blog anymore, as I have not had treatment for a few years now.

However, I want to let you know that I have made a very special friend named Kristin who has been battling Hodgkin's for over a year now. She went through chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant much like myself, however, she is still battling the disease and is about to have an allogenic bone marrow transplant.

Much like me, her siblings WERE NOT a match for her. She is having a cord blood transplant because time is a huge factor, but for just a little painless blood work, you can be registered on the National Bone Marrow registry. My disease may come back due to the strength of my cancer. But it is up to family and friends like you to help someone like me and my friend Kristin. Please refer to: http://www.dkmsamericas.org/ and see how YOU can save someone's life.
Love,
Sherrie

Goodbye to my port:(

Hi There,
Today is kind of a bittersweet day for me. I am having my port removed! I am so happy that there isn't any need anymore for it, however, that little port got me through the worst of the worst. The procedure is supposed to be easy, however, they need to remove the port from my chest, and then the line from my jugular vein and into my heart. I will be sad to see it go:(
Have a great Tuesday!
