Wait, I'm confused - he's getting a mini-transplant, but he's getting TBI? Usually TBI automatically means it's a full transplant, as that's a lot more serious than chemo... I'm really surprised that they're letting him go home before engraftment! Mine was one of the easiest and quickest engraftments the ward had seen, but I was in for 3 weeks.
Good luck to Bill!
