Plan B or Part B

After the first transplant test were done to measure progress. Results were no as good as hoped for or predicted by SCCA staff.

Two transplants have been in the plan since the initial stages of Michael's treatments at SCCA. He had hoped to get by with just one transplant using his own stem cells and return to a normal life style. After considerable thought Michael chose to go ahead with the second transplant. Plan or Part B depending on where you sit.

The second transplant will use donor cells (Allogenic) and the situation requires rapid action, thus limiting the cancers opportunity to grow additional cells. Process is under way and Michael will start chemo on March 28th (3 days) then on the fifth day receive the donor stem cells. The donor's stem cells have a very high grade for matching Michael's, 100% in many areas to include blood type. Better results come with higher risks; therefore, Michael will be closely monitored and provided with all types of meds that come under the heading of, Just In Case.
