Day 163 again
About 4 PM, after several calls from me for any news and a misdirectional response from the clinic to John that they would call when they knew something, we learned that John's donor has been cleared. Subject to some paperwork we can go forward with the transplant. Monday he will have his infusion port replaced and his chemotherapy could start on Thursday. If all goes well, we will have lost one or two weeks and a few more hairs from my head.
Now our most recent worries have been replaced with those that were scheduled for this point - will the transplant "work." At least those are better things to be concerned over.
So much for the news flash. We are all watching John's stomach problems, which were the first sign of leukemia before. At least now we are closer to a possible solution. Tomorrow will bring its own worries and plenty of planning around the new schedule. Tonight there is time to breathe All three of us are relieved and grateful.
