Have they told you a recovery time or is it all pretty much case by case?

It's a little different for each person, but as a general rule, about 12 months.
I will completely lose my immune system, meaning every immunization and flu/cold I ever got is is wiped from memory, as is my body's ability to fight anything. It won't just be a blank immune system, the high dose chemo I get for 2 days totally 100% kills all my bone marrow taking with it my immune system. It will take 12 months for my immune system to start resembling a normal immune system again. Some of the immunizations (measles, chicken pox, polio, tetnus etc) I can start getting 12 months after, some have to wait up to 3 years before I can get them. And every cold and flu my body got and built immunity to will all be new again. Yuck...
Therefore I will have to stay away from the general public. No going out, no shopping, no gatherings, and no visitors. it sux but it's what I need to do.

You will be missed this year Chris, but it's cool, you will have all the rest to attend :)
We'll just have to make sure we have enough beer this time. :D
I don't think I will make it this year. Matt may go. Still too far away to know for sure.
Lol, I don't know who I'm kidding. I'll be there. If Brenda can make it, I can too. :bigthumb:
