You are psychic, my date has changed already to Sept 21.

I am all checked out ready to go. My brother is getting final tests Friday..we were waiting for insurance approval.

As far a chemo regime when I am admitted, I know it is two more powerful drugs for up to eight days before the actual transplant. I will lose my hair.

When I was first diagnosed, I was on Decitibine for a week..but once they found a match they stopped the rest of those treatments. Right now, all I am getting is blood or platelets once a week.
