April 30th..."DAY TEN"

Day 10, strong chemo and not easy, nausea and headaches  for Ja, but she felt better by the evening and had a good sleep.

April 29th ...

A day of relax from medications and ready for  the 10 day count down...

April 28th evening...

Ja cut her own hair  and prepares to change rooms.

The haircut went very well and she has saved her golden locks for future projects

April 26th...

The progress with Ja is excellent, is a very fragile moment as she approaches the 29th, the day to move into  complete isolation and start the strongest  Chemo for 10 days  and the count down for the insertion of the bone marrow cells..., reality shocks us a little bit more but  we keep going...

From today walking to the clinic...  Pictures  click here

April 19th...

Ja has to stay from now on in the clinic, because her counts are very low, and has been receiving alots of  preventive medications.  Things are going as planned t it is safer for her to be under medical control 24/7.

We are taking shifts being with her.  At least one of us can stay with her all the time.

Monday 23, she starts to get another chemo, and  on the 29th she goes into the "box".

Here is  the helping team...  Pictures  click here

It this no internet in the room, so the reply e-mails from Ja are on hold for one or two more weeks, and soon she going to have a direct phone line to get in touch with the world :) 

Ja said "Hiiii" to everyone

April 16...

How are you doing...?  and how are things are going here in Italy...?

We have never forgotten all the wonderful friends who have helped us to get here.

Already,  6 months in Rome and are finally near to doing the actual transplant. It has taken a lot more time and preparation than we anticipated.  Ja has almost finished the 2 months of chemo suppressing her immune system and will be ready for the next part.

On April 29th  she goes in the clinic for two months of isolation and gets the heavy duty doses of chemo for 10 days after which she will receive the new bone marrow cells and the stem cells and wait for them to start to grow. 

Ja keeps smiling and still living life to the fullest.   Photo April 15/07
