2nd leukopheresis 2-3-06

I am on a cell separator which draws off blood through the right central line (triple lumen IJ-a permanent triple lumen line that exits the right upper chest) & separates off the white blood cells then returns the rest to me. These WBC's are then frozen & will be reinfused after the 2nd transplant. I'm not certain of the biophysiology except for the fact that it increases immunity. I did the same thing on 12-9 & got those cells back on 12-29. Posted by Picasa
