    BEP done.....

    Hello everyone, back from the chemo wasteland. Thanks for the support again!!!!!

    Well BEP is vastly easier to handle than VIP or TIP cycles. All I am is tired with no problem eating. The worst part of this whole treatment was getting my 'auto' stem cell transplant, the preservative that they are kept in is the nastiest thing i've ever had done. Only 3 bags at 80ml's a piece was enough to leave me in a bad state for around an hour. The preservative itself went to work burning out the vein that had an 18 gauge in it! Well I gotta go back to sleep.... and eat... and drink tons... as long as i keep that in check i'm doing ok. OH! I've officially stumped every doctor here, so next week I hopefully will found out more information about what is going on inside my body.
