Light at the end of the tunnel...

26 days and counting... im goin nuts in here, ready to come home. hopefully i will be coming home tuesday if everything is going according to plan. i need my blood counts to come up and the bone marrow biopsy to look alright in order for me to get outta here. anywho, i finally got some good news, it seemed like every news we have gotten so far has been infavourable, and taken the harder route. so my sister was not a match, and that was a total bummer, but they told me that my HLA type for the bone marrow transplant is very common, and they think it is going to be very easy/quick to find a match, which is sooooo relieving. i thought i might have to wait like 6 months, doing chemo every month, waiting for a match, but they said they think they have as many as 300 preliminary matches already, just need to narrow it down and find the best, get some blood work from them and could possibly get the transplant going as soon as june. this news could not have come at a better time. its lookin like maybe a 31 day stay, i cant wait to get out of here. but i dont want to get my hopes up if my blood counts dont go up soon enough or something. i should be out for about a month, and if they have a match, come back for like a 35 day stay for the transplant in june, which sucks cuz its another long stupid stay, but at least we will getting the ball rolling on getting this disease out of me. thats all for now, gonna get back to watching more sopranos, watched 2 full seasons in a week, it has helped pass time...
