Glad to know you are at MDA. My brother spent three plus months there last fall. He is battling leukemia. They gave him a new immune system with an adult stem cell transplant from a donor.
John has faithfully followed the doctor's instructions and has
avoided serious infections. The doctors assure him he will be totally cured and right now all his tests are very positive.
He went home in January (near Ft. Worth) and has to report back
to Houston every three months for awhile. He lost a lot of weight
but is slowly gaining that back.
It is incredible the work that MDA can do to fight cancer. I, too,
will be praying for you all. A positive attitude by the doctors and nurses and friends has helped a lot and I'm confident you have the same type of experience. Keep us informed.
