The reason for the stem cell infusion is because they give you a mega dose of chemo (and I think radiation too) that kinda zeros your system out and has to have the stem cell infusion to help you up after.  Someone talked to me to do some kind of mental exam to make sure I was ready for how tough it could be, like if I was depressed or suicidal it could push me more towards that apparently.  So ya, the chemo and then the stem cell infusion is icing on the shit cake, but hopefully it’ll knock this shit out good.  Still haven’t talked to the doctor that is actually going to do it, that’ll happen later this month I think.
