With the transplant now scheduled for 9.24, today was the second day of pre-transplant ramp up. During this time you'll hear more frequently from me. I'll still try to pace the updates as they're applicable. I would assume once Friday comes we'll have them almost (if not) daily.
Yesterday was a full day of evaluations. There were labs, EKG, physical, mammogram, and 3 evaluations (financial, social, and nutritional). Of course everything started a little later than it was supposed to and the room was cold. But Mom made do, and was in pretty good spirits. Grandma was with her the entire day.
Today brought another bone marrow biopsy, several X-Rays (chest and panorex), and radiation oncology. I'll have to circle back with you bloggers to give you the expected marrow results date. My expectation is we'll have them by Friday though.
That's about it. Walt arrives tonight (in about 45 minutes actually) to start his ramp up. We'll see if he gets any special nurse attention, and report back!

Exciting news about the transplant date and an agenda! I hope everything goes well with the ramp up Walt and we're thinking positive thoughts going into the chemo and radiation Cathi!

Cathi, From the sound of things you will be ready for any NASA mission they can dream up. Keep up the great progress. You are in my prayers everyday. Now I'm adding Your brother Walt. Have a good prep week. You can do it!!
