Many of you have been kind enough to ask for prompt information as to what happens with us up here at Mayo. We met with the blood cancer doc today, and it was decided that we will proceed with a stem cell transplant here in early 2013. It will require us coming back up here for several weeks at that time. It will be an arduous and unpleaseant process, but the end goal will be having the cancer go into "durable remission," and stay off of chemo for 7 to 10 years when it's done. That's longer than the initial period given for anticipated survival at the time of diagnosis 5+ years ago.
Thanks to all for your many prayers in regard to this visit! We'll keep you updated as things get scheduled and further information develop in the next few weeks.
