April 8 2007 - 3 days post treatment
Still breathing deeper - but not any deeper than 2 days ago. Mucus has finally stopped. One thing I am noticing is my Saturation is higher than it used to be. Before SCT (stem cell treatment) when I was sitting and ran 2lpm pulse dose I was typically reading 95-96%, now I am reading 98-99% so I am turning it down to 1.5lpm and have left it off a few times for up to 20 minutes. My heart rate has also slowed down a bit. I guess it has less strain when the lungs can produced more oxygen??
I have also noticed some aching in my chest wall - not sure what this means. It's not painful just achy. I am thinking the new cells are asking the old worn out ones to leave and they are jockeying for position. :)
On the plane at 35,000 feet today I ran my Eclipse at 2lpm pulsed for most of the trip without any SOB. Before the treatment on the plane to San Diego from Boston I had a bit more trouble and ran my Eclipse at 3lpm for at least 20 minutes and had SOB.
I hope this information is helpful.
