O'connor and Zain feel as though we've missed the transplant window, due to my dental work. It's been too long since my last chemotherapy to bridge us to transplant. Therefore, to keep my disease in remission before transplant occurs we are doing one last round of chemotherapy. So, we have to move some things around. Between this week of chemo, and the conditioning chemo before transplant it will definitely kick my butt; however, this is what seems necessary to move forward. So, we will suck it up, and do it to give myself the best chance of a cure.
Here is what we're looking at, as of now.
New Transplant Timeline:
- Today: Dentist, Benadmustine chemotherapy
- Tomorrow: Brentruximab chemotherapy
- Monday, May 28th/Wednesday, May 30th/Friday, April 2nd: Clinic visits
- Monday, May 5th: Admitted to hospital
- Monday, May 5th evening/Tuesday, May 6th -- May 10th morning: conditioning chemo for five days.
- Sunday, May 11th: possible day of rest, possible stem cell collection from Jacob
- Monday, May 12th: Jake's stem cell collection/I receive new cells: Rebirthday
Let's hope we stay on track.

Fingers crossed it all goes ahead and that it isn't too bad xx
Another friend shared that you were starting your journey today. Thoughts, prayers, and best wishes for the strength you need to get through this detour on your life's journey. You've done the auto route already. The allo adds the GvH. You've overcome the recovery once, you can do it again. They have come so far managing gvh, you'll get through it too. My sister was my donor. She was only a half match. I hit 13 months on May 12th. Will be thinking about you and sending as many positive thoughts as possible on that day and beyond.
