The awaited day is still going on as I'm in the Transfusion ward receiving blood components and updating my friends on the results of today's visits with both doctors. The important visit with Dr. de Lima told us that 2-donors are a perfect match (maybe even better than my lovable brothers). So, we now have a plan to administer the stem cell transplant in 30-days.
I am very lucky to have two (with a third on the warming bench) when some people have none. The choice between the two was extended from 10-markers to 12-markers and both passed!
So now it's a matter of age, sex and availability.
It looks like I'll get my wish and return home disease free.
There are a great number of tests I need to take (including a dentist) that must give me a passing grade so I can go through the 7-days of chemo timed so I am readywhen the stem cells arrive from my donor. I'll be ready! JW

Hi Jerry, so very glad to hear things are looking up for you. I hope you have gotten my other emails because I'm not very computer savy. Anyway, know that I have you and your family in my prayers and that you are loved so very much here in Louisville.
