”This song describes the weeks immediately after you receive your new bone marrow cells and the endless wait for your blood cell counts to rise. The rise in cell counts is the first sign that the new bone marrow has engrafted and is the first step on the long road to recovery free of cancer. Dedicated to my beautiful daughter, Mietta, a genuine miracle baby who was born 3 years after my bone marrow transplant” – David
