Rich and I decided to go up to Mayo last week to hear about
their stem cell transplant procedure. UOI and Mayo do different procedures. After listening to them, we decided to go to
Mayo. I will finish my chemo at Ames
till the end of May then I will go to Mayo in June for the transplant. The transplant will take 6 to7 weeks which
leaves my immune system to about 0. It
will take a while for my immune system to build back up.
