Here we go....

Well it has been a long time since I have entered anything on my blog. Since no one reads it, it isn't a big deal...but I couldn't even remember how to sign in!! Let alone remember my password. Duh.
So...ok, now I am in. It is August 17, and on Sunday August the 20th Dave and I will be heading to Mayo's Clinic in MN to begin the process for his Bone Marrow Transplant.
Yes, I am scared. Yes, he is scared. But..this seems the only path we have to try and get some "remission" time from this NHL. The IU Doctors doesn't think a Bone-marrow-transplant will give him any more remission time than any other chemo, so he didn't advise it. Dr. Khan (Coach) seems to think this is not only the best chance for some extended time, but the only option he has at this time. He keeps reminding us that Dave came in as a "HIGH RISK" patient. The doc at Mayo's led us to believe that there might be some hope for some remission time and he felt it was the thing to do. So....what DO we do? Guess we are doing it.
I think I will try to enter the days events on this blog....more just to have a record of what we do and when we do it once we arrive at Mayos. I was just trying to remember HOW to do it!
So...come next week I will be entering the daily happenings from MN. Wow. Can't believe we really have to do this.
Dave is feeling better now...after the second round of "salvage-chemo". Sure is rough and I don't know how the human body stands all this torcher. It is amazing.
Ok...one more float down the river with Davey ....the meatloaf is in the oven and then back to packing for this trip. More later.
