Sharon and Bob met with the Transplant Coordinator, Teresa Micerll. Sharon's form of leukemia is called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative disease (MPD). If all goes as planned, she will begin receiving chemotherapy on August 28 which will destroy the abnormal cells in Sharon's bone marrow. The doctor told her that she should not lose all of her hair. He also told her that she should not have the vomiting normally associated with chemo treatments. There will be some nausea which can be controlled by medication.
Then, the transfusion will take place on September 4.
During this process, she is to stay hydrated, consume lots of calories and stay as active as possible.
