Sharon was admitted to the hospital on September 8 to receive medication and treatment to control nausea, pain, etc.

She received her last round of chemo yesterday afternoon for graft vs. host disease prevention.

The side effects of the chemo have started subsiding. There has not been any hair loss yet. However, she does have mouth sores which makes eating difficult. She may have to be fed through a tube until these have healed.

Her doctors have told them that she needs to endure the next seven unpleasant days.

Chemo side effects can be expected three to seven days after the first treatment. Sharon started her treatments on August 29. The side effects began on September 6.

Signs of engraftment should be seen seventeen to twenty one days after the infusion.
