NO GO for the stem cell transplant.

Had some disappointing news again today. My bone marrow isn't recovered enough to produce the stem cells required so I can have a high dose chemo. And it puts me at great risk of the cancer coming back. So we giving it another 6 weeks to recover before we gonna try again. Hopefully my body would have sufficiently recovered to produce the cells that I need to do a transplant.

Otherwise I need to get a donors stem cells and that is very risky and potentially disabling or lethal. It can cause Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD)

So again, I ask please hold thumbs for me. It seems its not quite over yet!
