Thanks for the info, Doc!

I will sign up too if one site becomes the focus.

If all goes as it is going now, I will get to go home on the 6th or 7th. Then on the 13th or 14th gotta change hospitals and doctors due to insurance. I have walked about 3 miles a day for the last few days and my blood numbers are growing. THanks for yalls willingness to sign up to donate. With today's technology, what I understand they won't have to tap the donors marrow. They can get stem cells from the blood somehow then, put it in me somehow. Its not as hard on the donor as used to be. I still don't want anyone to go through anything for me. I hope it works out they don't have to.

Good to hear the update, prayers continue.

so good to hear.... it is willing to do things for others that indicates we are people with true values

Mr. Rodgers (not me) said it so well "One of the greatest dignities of humankind is that each successive generation is invested in the welfare of each new generation."

I am home!!!!!!!!!!!!! No appointment till Tuesday. That will be new Hospital and new Doc.

good news... we are in your corner

Enjoy time with the family and recover. You all are in my prayers. Keep us informed. I don't mind hearing from you.

Good to hear man.

Good to hear of the progress, keep us updated.

Since last post, had another marrow biopsy that was clear. They signed me up for a clinical trial for an experimental drug that is suppose to super build platelets so no or fewer transfusions after chemo.

They done a lumbar puncture or spinal tap to check if it was in my spinal fluids. It came back dirty. This disqualified me for the trial. They injected chemo into the spine to help. Was admitted yesterday back in the Hospital getting more of my regular chemo. I should get to go where we are staying around 10 tonight. This round is set up as outpatient 2 times a day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with another lumbar puncture before my platelets and blood counts crash. That should be between chemo's on Wednesday.

Will be back every day to every other day for labs and blood and or platelet transfusions if needed. Plus all other kinds of stuff.

I brought my Sister's blood down with me Thursday to see if she is going to be match or not.

I'm still hanging in like a dry booger.
