Everything is all up in the air and not in a good way. I went away to Yorkton last week to help Becky with the renovations and expected to come home this week and start to pack and get ready to head back to Seattle. John was phoned by our coordinator. Apparently she had been wrong about the bone marrow biopsy and it was at 10 percent instead of around 5 percent. Seattle wants him to have another round of chemo. He has started that so it will be at least another three weeks before any plans are started to be formulated as to when we will be leaving. Seattle as well wants to do another auto (his own cells) transplant followed right after by an allo (donor cells) all to be done in Seattle. Our onocologist (who is away this week) apparently is against this (the auto transplant that is). I think we will be meeting with Dr. V's associate this week. We are very confused at this time. This is the first time anybody has mentioned doing another auto transplant. Hopefully he can clear some things up. We do want to do what is needed to get the best outcome but another auto transplant is a very hard thing to have to go through. Please pray that the best treatment option will be the one that is choosen.

I am so sorry things are hung up. How discouraging. We will continue to pray that all roads will be cleared and that things will go smoothly for the transplant the way it was planned.
I hope you guys are holding up under all of this. I can't imagine how confused and frustrated you must feel. We're praying for you guys.
