The conditioning regimen is high dose Busulfex and Fludarabine which starts 7 days before I receive cells.
The graft versus host disease prophylaxis medications are:
Bortezomib (Velcade) which is the "study" medication on the trial. It's given intravenously on Days +1, 4 and 7.
Methotrexate, intravenous dose given Day +1, 3, 6 and 11.
Tacrolimus (aka Prograf or FK506) will start Day + 3 and continue post transplant.
Fun fun fun..
I imagine your days will go by pretty quickly believe it or not..you'll be sleepy..sleeping a lot maybe..walking around the nurses station/floor..doctor visits in the morning..followed by tests if you have them..so there goes your morning...for me the longest part of the day was the nighttime when everything quieted down and no one was around..hopefully you can either sleep or keep yourself busy with your xoom/books...just one day at a time though..
