Hi Baile - I go into the hospital tomorrow for placement of the dreaded Hickman Catheter - next day starts chemo - with the actual transplant scheduled for the 26th. They harvested 10 million stem cells from my brother today - which is very exciting - I think they were only able to get 700,000 from my last donor - which contributed to delays in engraftment and my counts rising - I'm hopeful things will go more smoothly - and there is something nice about receiving stem cells from my big brother.

I"ll keep you posted.

Stay well! Best wishes to your daughter too.
Paul
