Hey Mehrzad!

Just wanted to say good luck to you as your start your treatment course. I'm in healthcare IT now but I worked on a BMT/Stem Cell Transplant floor as a bedside care provider for nearly 2 years, and my partner is very well respected in that field (we met at work).

Anyway, PLEASE make sure you walk a lot on the floor and stay as active as you possibly can. Also, wash your hands before they touch your mouth every single time. Be a fanatic about hand sanitation.

For everyone else, especially minorities, please sign up to be a donor. It's a really easy process for you (if you match, you'll get a shot to promote cell generation, and then they'll extract the cells they need), and it literally means life for someone else.

If you need anything, reach out @iamkatemcg on twitter and I'll help however I can.
