Kurt has completed the 3rd round of consolidation chemo, and came home on Monday of this week. He is doing quite well, but we are a little discouraged. They still have not found another donor, and they will only give him one more consolidation round of chemo. So if they do get a donor soon, he will start the transplant process in mid-July, and if not they will do the 4th and final round of consolidation chemo, and then we will have to talk to the doctors and make some decisions, and we really don't know what our options would be. We are getting a little nervous, because the time seems to be going faster and we cannot find a donor. They said it usually doesn't take this long to find one, but we're thinking that it is summer and everyone probably has plans. So keep praying that they will find one soon.
Other than that, he hasn't lost his hair from the consolidation treatments, and it is growing in pretty good. But if when they do the transplant he will get radiation and chemo, and I'm sure it will fall out again. Now we just go to the hospital and get the counts checked frequently for the next week and a half, and wait for the counts to come back up, and then maybe we can do something fun again.
Thanks again for your concern and support. Hopefully the next time I write it will be something positive about the transplant.
