Non-myeloblative transplant on deck...

Greetings, My husband has been scheduled for his non-myeloblative transplant at Stanford University Hospital on May 15. Gulp. He is a retired physician, has always been healthy, and for over 2 years, has been fighting this beast. His blood work suggests that now is the time for the transplant. His sister and brother are both "perfect" matches, so now it's up to Stanford to choose. We have to move there (the highest rent in the nation!) for about 4 months, since we live 3 hours away. This is our life's biggest hurdle, and we are prepared to give it our mightiest fight. My dad had RA 16 years ago and died within 6 months of diagnosis. We can realize the progress made over the last 16 years, and are hoping against most odds that we'll see much more progress in the next 16 years!!
