Today we had our first clinic appointment, a blood draw then a visit with the doctor to review the numbers - Georgia has once again passed with flying colors.. her ANC was up to 932! The doctor said she was very pleased with all of her blood levels.
She is scheduled to have her MRI and bone marrow aspirate on Wednesday morning - please, please send positive prayers, thoughts, vibes and juju... we can use every bit of it! We want to see that the tumor is completely gone from her leg so we can stay home until transplant.
Some very good news is that they have both a cord and donor match for Georgia! I am starting to understand that the donor match (person) versus the cord (banked umbilical cord) is the preferred method. Georgia's donor match is a 10 out of 10!! There is still testing to be done on this person, physical exams, their final consent and timing all has to work out but we are moving along in the process which is good.
That sounds huge that they have found a donor. Huray! You can bet we will be sending some positive vibes and Juju to say bye bye to that damn tumor. Jim and Kathye
