Time for the Transplant!
Steve just finished his third hospital stay January 26-30 and had another large dose of chemo. He got his number back on his last bone marrow test on Jan. 26; the number was .10%, slightly down from the last number of .12%, but still not a 0%. They have told us that they will go ahead with the bone marrow transplant now anyway, that it is really the only cure option to overcome Steve's own cancer-producing marrow.
Steve will enter the hospital on March 2 and the radiology team will prepare him for transplant by killing off all of his own marrow. On March 9 Steve's donor from the national marrow registry will have his marrow harvested. The next day, March 10 is the day Steve will receive the bone marrow transplant. They transfuse the marrow into Steve's veins and the marrow knows just where to go and travels by itself to the bones.
Steve is feeling pretty good right now and is recuperating and getting prepared for the transplant. Thanks again for all the prayers.
