Preparing for transplant admission September 21st
We met with the transplant doctor yesterday and she gave us a date of 9/21 for admission, they are in the process of doing the final bloodwork for his sister and his brother so we still do not know who they will pick.
What they are proposing is a T Cell depleted transplant, no radiation. They will use Busulfan, Fludarabine, Melphalan along with ATG treatment, so 7 days of chemo, a day of rest and then the transplant. They also want to do three daily injections of KGF just before admission to try and reduce mucositis, it is an FDA approved drug, but this part would be part of a trial.
