Transplant Timeline

Big News about Carol (Philip's Mom). They found a complete match for her bone marrow transplant (!!!) and have been running tests (like a TON of tests) to make sure her body is ready and that the donor is ready too. We just got word yesterday that she will be admitted to the hospital on January 10th to begin the transplant process. This is wonderful news because it is her very best hope at a complete recovery. Of course restarting chemo and being in the hospital for a month minimum is scary and challenging, but Carol and the rest of us are so glad she has these options available and the hope for a cancer free long life in the future. She has more tests and procedures in the next weeks leading to the transplant and they are still concerned about her fingers. Please keep Carol, the medical team and her support/family in your prayers. I will update more once things start happening. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
