My biopsy results indicate that I am ready to proceed to the transplant phase. (!)
Since the failure of the October chemo, and the sinus infection, the plan has been to avoid infection, try a different chemo, do a biopsy, and —if the biopsy results were as desired — head into the transplant phase.
Left unspoken has always been, what if the biopsy results weren't good? Fortunately, we can skip right over that possibility now.
Yay! Full steam ahead!

ReplyDeleteGreat news Joe!! We are praying all continues well.
ReplyDeleteSo, even though we're confirmed agnostics/atheists, we've come (with your help) to believe in prayer. We and our more religious friends are busy with this mantra: Get Joe out of the hospital, well, and able to eat whatever he damn well wants--and run as far as he wants to.
