They just gave me day three shots, and I will update again at the end of the day to see how I'm feeling.
My experiences and thoughts after being notified that I was a potential bone marrow match for someone suffering from Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I had no hesitation in agreeing to help, and was asked to donate using the Peripheral Blood Stem Cell collection method, or PBSC.

Day three, part one.
Woke up this morning with a dull throbbing pain in my lower back, so that means the Filgrastim is working! Every now and then it bothers me, but then it goes away so it's really not too bad. I get a little throbbing in my head too, that coincides with the back pain. I took two extra strength Tylenol, and will take those every 5 or 6 hours. They have said to not take too many Tylenol if the pain is not going away, they would prefer I take something with codeine instead. I opted to just see how I do today with only Tylenol. The nurse did say that being out and about will help with the pain, so we are walking back to the Capitol Building and Smithsonian museums today, but will take the train and bus back to Georgetown at the end of the day.
