Day -7

The day count is officially on. Transplant day is also known as Day 0, the day when the whole immune system is transplanted. The count day we look forward to is Day +100, when patients are released to "go home". Living in Houston, "go home" does not really apply; it applies more to those who come to MD Anderson from afar and are now able to leave the 25 miles or 30 minutes distance from MDA. For Gail it means she can once again venture outside Houston.
