Preparing to go to Puebla, Mexico to have HSCT!

March 3rd, 2017

Hi everyone who are following me on my journey to Puebla, Mexico!! Thank you so much for coming with me! I appreciate all of you who supported me financially and who continue to support me in prayer!

I decided to try my hand at blogging my experience so I can look back and remember this!! First of all, I want to thank my Lord Jesus who goes with me wherever I go! I want to thank you, my supporters who may be interested in what I am going through. And lastly, I thought this would help others who are considering HSCT for MS.


Things I have had to do to get ready to go:


  1. Researching about HSCT. Asking a lot questions!
  2. Applying to Mexico to have HSCT.
  3. Getting accepted! Yay!!
  4. Flights booked.
  5. 1st night hotel booked. (We'll be staying in an apartment the rest of the time.)
  6. Doctor appointments made and done. (Neurologist, GP, Dentist, cleaning).
  7. Fundraising ongoing!
  8. Shopping for a whole list of items needed.
  9. Taking a lot of supplements prescribed by my doctor to get my cells in the best shape for chemo.
  10. Working out at the YMCA 1 day/week. MS swim class 1-2 days/wk.
  11. Trying to gain weight! Thanks to my husband who cooks for me, and thanks to my friends for encouraging me to eat!
  12. I am getting my hair cut short and donating it to Wigs for Kids! I will eventually lose my hair due to the chemo!
  13. I will pack as it gets closer to going.

Thanks for coming along with me!! I hope to stop the progression of my MS!!
