Andrew's journey through his second bone marrow transplant. Nearly 10 years ago he underwent his first transplant with David (his twin brother) as donor. This time he is having a non myeloablative transplant and Grant (his other brother) is his donor. His treatment is taking place through Stanford in California. This is to cure Andrew - go Andrew.

Going to see what the BMB reveals
Another BMB scheduled ...(bone marrow biopsy)... not my favorite thing to do but I am very used to them now and they are not too bad. Dr. G says all will be revealed in the bone marrow and that will determine what to do and where to go next. The Bone Marrow Transplant team will decide the next steps ... maybe another round of chemo starting next week, maybe start looking into another donor infusion, will depend on the numbers (ie. number of blast cells, percentage of my cells versus my donors cells, .... how much disease etc.). Platelet count is up, WBC's and RBC's are down but I slipped out before they were read. Probably means a couple of units in the next day or two. Still have to keep using the mask etc. so won't make it to my friends/work mates wedding Saturday ... but will be thinking of you and hope you have a perfect day Cathy.
