Default 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).

~Keri

You have such courage to get your hair cut and buy a wig in preparation for this treatment. I hope and pray everything goes smoothly for you.

Keep us posted, K?

I found this and I would call it, a must read for anyone interested in the HiCy treatment.

Long, but so interesting......

Hi Keri -- Good luck with your treatment. I will be thinking about you. I guess you must have finished the chemo already?? Check back and let us know how you are doing.
Hugs, Natalie
