Love is..... Sharing our wait together
Tuesday
Lottery
We are waiting every day to hear about the sibling donor. Tests were done on the 9 March and it is over a month wait now. Not sure if it is too long. At least there is no negative news. It is like waiting for the lottery. We have only 25-30 % chance of a sibling match. We have heard of someone with 8 siblings and no match. We are in anticipation about the outcome. A sibling donor is by far the optimum choice. The phone went this morning and it was the transplant nurse. We had to go off this morning to hospital for more blood tests. Not sure but they may be needing more information to make a match. In hope of some positive news shortly.
A quick blood test today. As you can see Colin has gained weight but not back to normal. Doesn't matter how much he gains now. He will lose weight with the next chemo or if he goes to transplant. More information on transplant later. It is not the same as a kidney or liver transplant. There is no operation needed as the bone marrow enters through a drip with in 1/2 an hour.
