We've had a couple people ask us to post an update, so here's a brief post for those folks. The biopsy results came back negative, so that's good news. We met with Dr. Tallman on Friday. He discussed the possible complications with us. We meet with the radiologist on Monday (tomorrow). The exact date of Tim's hospitalization rests with the radiologist. We have asked to start as soon as possible. That will probably be this coming Friday, March 13. If the doctors make no changes to Tim's treatment plan, he will have three days of chemotherapy, one day of total body irradiation and then the stem cell transplant. Tim will probably be in the hospital for three to four weeks if all goes well. The follow up care is another month or so.
Don't expect too many posts over the next couple of weeks. You can send email to Tim or to me. We may answer, we may not. We do take phone calls, but please don't be offended if we have to hang up because the nurse or doctor walk in or we're just not in the mood to talk. Sometimes we're in the mood, mostly we're not. We definitely don't like talking about what's going on. Let us know what's happening in your life. It's got to be more interesting to us than what we're going through. Send us your funny story. We like those. Laughter is good medicine.
