I'm back at home after 2 more weeks in the hospital (mostly due to dehydration and nausea). I have a busy month ahead of doctor appointments and tests in preparation for my bone marrow transplant, which will take place around the beginning-to-mid January. They have lined up the specific donor who will go through a 5-day donation period at Sloan-Kettering so that the doctors and hospital have full control over every aspect of the donation process.

Because I had one more round of chemo, my immune system will continue to be very weak. It's important that I limit my contact with people/germs for the next month.

Thanks to everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers. Dan
