DAY 29 APRIL 22




Taking Flight!!!

Time to come home!!! Leaving at 830am for a noon departure. Wow!

Today went great. I was up early and decided I would start organizing my things. Packed up everything I could.

Ate breakfast and bathed. Tried to get rid of as much hair as I could. Still some left. I then started my final infusion. It is a medication that is used to mop up the leftovers of the chemo. It takes five hours.

It was not bad though. I was able to walk around with it. Katja came down and we talked for a while and Lynnette was here most of the day and we played cards and hung out.

Had an amazing exit interview with Dr. Fedorenko!! Literally 30 minutes of doctor and patient dialolgue! Presented me with incredibly simple detailed explanation of exactly every step of the process.

What a breath of fresh air in the medical community!!! Truly one in a million. Dr. Fedorenko is a crown jewel to the world of MS!!!

Got to say goodbyes to Katja and Pip and Johan.

Dinner and removal of my catheter!! Easy!






Breakfast

Lunch...Chicken Pasta Soup and Bread


Dinner...Beef Potato Stew with Slaw and Bread

Final Infusion


The Catheter in My Neck From The Start of Chemo!!!



Part of the Absolutely Amazing Nurses and Staff That I Love!!!

    I am pretty over the moon about your experience and procedure in Russia. I don’t think it could have been any better. Hopefully you and Lynnette will travel well and enjoy getting back home.
    Thank you for letting me read your blog. ❤️

DAY 28 APRIL 21

Exited Isolation!!! I am dressed in my favorite clothes. A T-shirt and shorts! Makes me happy! After my morning yoga and breakfast routine I was just sitting in my chair wondering exactly how the day was going to play out. I like to get my bath and new clothes on sooner than later. My favorite nurse who speaks a lot of English was here. I asked her if she knew what was going to happen. She gave me a new Kung Fu suit and said I could change. Standing in my underwear getting ready to bath Anastasia the office manager knocked on the door and said I was officially released from isolation! I could take a real shower and put on normal clothes. Perfect timing! And that was it! Had a very pleasant shower and scrubbed off 9 days of isolation. Actually the vodka bath keeps you very clean. Never smelled. I was able to go out and visit with Katja for a little while. Then had lunch and Lynnette arrived in the early afternoon. Have been able to visit Johan and Pip again. Very nice ...

DAY 1 MARCH 25

Just an update. Here is the attempt!! We flew SFO to Frankfurt to Moscow. United (special shout out to Kim B. from United for giving us exceptional customer service!!!) gave us some sweet seats and that made those 11 hours go much more easily. Transferred to Lufthansa and got to Russia around 5pm Russia time. Short layover. An hour but it was delayed an hour too. A driver (Vadin) was waiting to take us to the hotel. Had wifi in his van. Hotel is about 40 miles from the airport. Very nice hotel. Called the Vega but it is a Best Western chain. Clean and big. Had chicken kiev. Everyone has been super helpful. Not a lot of English speakers though Where we are reminds me of Philadelphia. Industrial big city with similar topography. I report Tuesday 26th at noon local time. Scheduled to come home April 23rd DAY 2 MARCH 26 Same airport driver (Vadin) picked us up at the hotel and took us to the facility/hospital. About 15 minute drive. Have not quite figured out what this ...

...And What is Happening Now?

Here is a post of a woman who is fairly similar to my condition. She has Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and was treated in Russia like me. One of my friends from Russia, Katja (Norway), sent it to me. I think she basically has a year on me because of the time I had to wait while I was treated for the cancer. She is younger than me too. I was 49 years old when I got sick. Her mobility was better than mine going in but I do not have any cognitive issues. I do have the left side weakness like she has though. The clinic in Russia says that the first six months to a year are a roller coaster ride. Dr. Fedorenko emphasized healthy lifestyle, healthy food and exercise as the best sources for a positive outcome. Hopefully this will give everyone an idea of what is the time line I am looking at. I hope my results are as good as hers. And who doesn't love Katy Perry?
