Getting Ready to Harvest my Stem Cells

I started getting a daily shot of NEUPOGEN, Sunday, to cause my body to make more white blood cells to get ready for the stem cell harvest this Friday. This causes me to have an abundance of white blood cells and the harvest goes well. Wednesday I get a central line installed and Friday the harvest takes place. I get connected to a machine that looks like a dialysis machine. My blood goes through it, the stem cells get removed, and the blood gets returned to my body.
