Valerie had her check up with her Oncologist today and he was very happy. Her bone marrow biopsy was back and it had less than 5% bad cells which they consider none. On Tuesday the 13th for 8 days. This will include the "consolidation" chemo which is 6 bags in 5 days and then 3 days after to keep an eye on her. She will be able to go home after that but she will need to go to the outpatient clinic every day to get blood, tests and platelets. They have a new kind of WBC grower to give her that should keep her even for 14 days. The plan is that right after her consolidation chemo she would go to UCSD for the next step, transplant. This brings me to my next topic. Vanessa will be tested tomorrow at Valerie's 3pm appointment with her transplant doctor. They will also finally find out if I need to fly to SD to get tested or if they can do it here in Denver. Please pray one of us matches! If we do match they could do the transplant as early as the end of October but if we don't it could mean more rounds of chemo while we wait.
