Hi, Bev.
When I said doctors "generally" want to put off transplants, I was implying "if the patient's condition makes it possible". I guess I should have been a little more specific. It sounds like there is some urgency for your husband given the particulars of his diagnosis.
Having surgery for diverticulitis with such a low neutrophil count seems very risky. Are they giving him Neupogen to try to boost his white count before the surgery? Let us know how it goes.
Regards,
Ruth
