Catherine, ironically he was scheduled to start treatment in preparation for a SCT just about a year ago when he suffered a subdural hematoma and required 3 separate brain surgeries. He was in and out of the hospital for a 3 month period including a 3 week stay in ICU, which really opened our eyes to the rigors of a transplant! That said, it led us to our current COE and we meet with the transplant team in 2 weeks to discuss options. Unfortunately he does not have a 10/10 match, so it is either cord blood or haplo (both of our sons are half matches). We were hopeful that with the year delay a match would appear on the registry, but no such luck. We are not in a huge hurry for the transplant but understand the sooner the better. He says he would like to just enjoy the summer, which he didn't have a chance to do last year because of his surgeries. One more day of treatment this round and hope to see the same improvement that we did last time. Best to your Dad!
