We leave for the medical facility on Sun, June 26th, The first week and a half will be intense testing, followed by a week and a half of waiting for the results. Then I start a week of heavy chemotherapy to kill off all of my bone marrow. They will put my donor's stem cells into me, will monitor for infection, graft-versus-host disease, and bone marrow recovery and will treat me as needed. The process will take 3-6 months (up to nine in extremely bad situations) and the average is four months.
Your help and prayers have been and will continue to be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
