HiCy tomorrow (Thursday)
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick note to say hello...and goodbye for now. Tomorrow I enter the hospital to start the HiCy (Revimmune) treatment. I am both excited and totally scared out of my mind. Not afraid of death (especially as there have been none with this treatment thus far) - just the whole idea of this process is mind-blowing. Then again, this whole MS thing has been rather mind-numbing to say the least.
In preparation for my upcoming hair loss, I had my hair cut short. Way short. However, the short is temporary, as baldness will soon follow. I bet at that point I will surely miss the short haircut!  I do have a lovely wig though 
Tomorrow morning I go to the hospital to have my central line (Hickman line) put in and then I get admitted.....and the first dose will be around 9-10pm........
So if anyone has any good/positive thoughts to send out toward Baltimore tomorrow - please feel free to do so!! I'll take all I can get (yeah, I'm being greedy with this one  )
Hope everyone is doing well and continuing to fight the good fight (whatever the heck that means). I am the 26th person with MS to go through this process of HiCy at Hopkins...and I believe the most recently diagnosed. Hopefully the docs will continue to learn more about how to keep improving this treatment until it is a cure (or another cure comes around).
