Day 146 – Wednesday 2 June, 2010
Today Emily had her infusion of Melphalan, a super high dose chemo. Emily began vomiting within two hours of the infusion but brightened up as the day went on. The effects of the chemo from the past week are starting to show and will get worse before they get better.
Emily’s stem cells will be infused on Friday to rescue her body from today’s chemo. It will then be a matter of waiting for the stem cells to repopulate Emily’s bone marrow and produce white blood cells to fight infections. This could take three weeks or so.
The Wooddins are taking each day as it comes and ask for no visitors until further notice.

HI Em
Jaime here- I know you cant have visitors at the moment, but just wanted to say Hi, and a big smile to you. I am still telling everyone what a cool time we had together at your place, wish I could come again soon. Jordy, Lala and me all have yucky colds so we couldn’t come to see you right now anyway, but will come as soon as you want some visitors again.
Miss you heaps and will see you soon.
Love Jaime, and the Booths
