Kurt completed his 3rd round of chemo today. He was able to come home about 12:30 today. It was good to come home from work, instead of driving to the hospital and sitting there all night. Kurt has done so well with the treatments, that even he has been very bored there, but I guess that is a good thing.
They told us that they chose a donor. He is a 21 year old male, and matches really well. We won't be able to find out who he is or where he is from for a year, that is if he chooses to let us know who he is. We are so amazed that a kid would sign up for this and has already sent in his blood sample. What a blessing to know there are people out there that still want to help others. I know after this experience I will probably sign up for the registry. They will have to do some testing to make sure he is healthy and then Kurt will have to have some testing to make sure that he can go through this, so it looks like the process can start in about 4 weeks. It will be good to get started and done.
Kurt will try to stay at home again like the after the 2nd chemo, we just have to start going to the hospital this Friday to check his counts. We will probably have to go up almost every day for a week, but better that than to put him in for another week.
We will keep everyone posted with any new news. Thanks for your great friendship.
