You will feel better as soon as your white blood counts recover. I started to feel better about day + 20. I still have long ways to go before I get my earlier strength back.

Give Cytaxyn (spelling) before mobilization. Since I was on Rev for a while I have asked this question to several transplant centers (Hopkins, Univ of Pittsburg, dana farber) and all said the above two will take care of it. If nothi...

3. Any tips on hotel/B&B etc in Boston area?
Best Regards,
