Paul S- that is what my husband about getting a preview of what's to come. I hope the food is better at City of Hope! To answer your question about taking the 9/10 match - yes we are going with that one because of my low neutrophil count. They want me to get rid of this infection, but are concerned I might get another one.
Sorry your sct has been delayed. I don't have a date yet for my or even have testing set up since this infection is still lingering. I actually had to go back to the hospital the day after they sent me home. I am home again now but with IV antibiotics for 2 weeks through a picc line. The fever is finally gone.
Italian Burrito - no bmb yet - probably in 2 weeks after they feel confident that I am infection free. I am pretty certain I am not in remission since I only had 2 rounds of chemo which all but destroyed my neutrophil count. The good news is that the rbc and hgb counts have gone back up. Glad that your dad had some improvement, sorry it wasn't quite what the doctor wanted to see.
