Amazing science.

Dale did not have a good night, chest pains, headaches, overall discomforts. I got here as here as a team member from Bone Marrow Transfer (BMT) was describing that part. It was pretty generic and informative at same time. Remission has to set in before BMT can be done. They will take Dale's bone marrow previuos to next cycles/phase of chemo and at designated time in treatment, put it back. Amazing science. **He gave me an article about it that I will either scan and post or attach link when I get home.

I had great help this morning at home. Yard looks great! Taking care of those domestic chores is really helpful to us. I did not realize the relief of such help would give me. It does. Thank you.

**Here is the search section I found in Google Scholar search engine. It has some copyrights to it for posting etc. but if anyone wants to view it online or pdf, it is available only that way. Basically, it says there have been "notable developments over the 17-year study" using "autologous transplantation" (bone marrow transplant from self-i.e. take patient's bone marrow and give it back to them). If  Dale gets to the "first remission" stages, then this will be the next treatment. Doctor spoke to us more and verified the "first remission" stages meaning Dale has to get to that point first, which is supposed to happen after all the chemo he is one now. They, of course, will keep us informed. I have liked that about Huntsman. They let you know what is going on and what to expect.
