Hi everyone,

This is Dennis III, Susan's son. I will post when mom isn't feeling good or can not get on here to post. Mom wanted everyone to know that she got her second dose of heavy chemo on Wednesday and that it went well. It made her feel tired and a little down. Today she received her Stem Cell Transplant and she said that it only took about 5 minutes to receive her stem cells back. She did report that it made her feel really heavy in the arms and chest. Also, doctors gave mom mints to eat while they were putting her stem cells back in because the process make your mouth taste like cream corn. The doctors also said that she would not be able to tell that she smells like cream corn but other people around her will smell cream corn when around her. Other than that the stem cell transplant went well and she is doing fine and does not seem to be feeling bad yet except for the drowsiness and feeling tired. She is a strong woman and is doing a fantastic job. Her and I would like to thank my grandparents for being very supportive and being there for her when she needs someone to be there. To MOM, hang in there and be optimistic, you are almost done with this process. Before you know it, you will be growing your hair back and you will be on your way to a Great recovery. To DAD, you'll do a great job of taking care of Mom next week. Love Y'all.
