Thank you!
Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. Hearing about the positive outcomes of patients close to my husbands age is very helpful.
We do not want to do anything that would delay a transplant. We live several hours away from the facility so I am concerned about making arrangements for our kids (3; one with special needs) and how long we may need to be away. We'll do whatever it takes but the planner in me is struggling with the unknown.
Chad S., my husband is actually of German descent also. I loved that you shared those details! It was great to hear that they are well represented on the donor list.
Whizbang; I was surprised to hear how quickly things moved along with a sibling donor. What a blessed gift to you!
It's not clear yet whether the Dacogen is working, but we hope to learn more at Friday's appointment. The bone marrow test results are supposed to be ready then. Tomorrow he will have a his first round of IVIG in an effort to boost his platelets. Low platelets were the first indication that there was a problem and they continue to plague him even after two infusions.
Thank you again for sharing and the words of encouragement.
Blessings to you all,
Michele
