Answer:
Peripheral blood stem cell harvesting is a procedure to harvest (collect) some of the stem cells in your blood. Stem cells are immature cells that make all of the blood cells in your body—the white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen, and platelets that stop you from bleeding.

Answer:
This chemotherapy will also destroy most of the blood cells in your bone marrow and bloodstream. Harvesting your stem cells before you get chemotherapy lets us give you this high dose of chemotherapy. Once your chemotherapy is finished, you will get an autologous stem cell transplant.
