Cycle 3 Day 8

Cycle 3 Day 6

The Stem Cells

This is from the last of the stem cells - the last of the stem cells, the injection, the lemons - before, during and after.

The syringe is how the stem cells are reintroduced into Allen's body... it takes about 3 mins, and a lemon and a 1/2. Allen sucks on the lemons to diffuse the smell (in his case taste) of the preservative that is in the stem cells which I call tomato soup/paste.

A photo Intermission

Since we are having some trouble with uploading the videos, right now, here are a couple posts of stills:

The reality straight ahead was kind of a difficult picture to take. It was REAL and had a lot of meaning rather than the seemingly funny Quip here. (Allen started round 2 - 2 days after the show)

Now after round 2, we had visitors - my sister Becky at the top of the Empire State Building, the view and also Allen - who even walked the last 6 floors to the top. (He is still making cancer look easy!)

Cycle 3, Day 5

Day 4 was a day of rest - and Allen did - lots of sleep :)

Day 5 Allen got his stem cells - this is before the stem cells.

Cycle 3 Cycle 3 - the last of the chemo

The last of the chemo drips in... next up. RECOVERY!

Cycle 3 Day 2

(Russ was cut off, but you can sbee him directly through you ube (Link to same video above) - the camera cuts his face off - and since he is now sharing a room, there are lots of different sounde - sorry!)

A little fun hanging in the room... for the magnet boards on the walls, there are some pretty strong magnets that provide some entertainment.
