By way of quick update, we're heading out to Utah next week. I meet with the transplant team on the 3rd. We're not sure yet when I will be hospitalized to start the process as there are a few preliminary things that need to happen (finding a match, insurance clearance, labs, etc.). My awesome brothers and sisters all got their lab work done this week to see who might be the lucky winner: A bone marrow match. I do not take for granted the fact that any one of them is willing to do this for me. If none of them are a match, we have to go to the national/international registry...but hopefully we don't have to go there (it would just prolong the process). As always, we'll update again soon.
Oh, and if you're curious what this whole bone marrow transplant thing entails, here's a link to a summary from the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I will be treated.
