Hi Hope
Did the 7 + 3 chemo bring his blasts down under 5% or did he need further chemo to do that? Glad your husband is going into this feeling great and I can imagine that the next month or so could be rough, hoping for the best. We will not meet with the transplant team until the blasts are under 5% so no date yet, he has two siblings that match, and once everything is lined up they'll want to move relatively quickly. My husband works for a small firm that writes business case studies for software/hardware upgrades. Most of the time he can work from home, but there are the initail visits to clients, for now the out of town visits are being handled by others. He has worked part time for the last couple of days with a nap in the afternoon, so he is very lucky in that respect. Yes, you are not to far away, we both have a choice of Philly or NY which is great.
Let us know how things go,
Debbie
