Thursday - plan on the table

Today we found out what is going on and what the plan is....The MRI showed that Trish has a uterine polyp and infections in the falopian tubes. The GYN docs will wait till Trish's Neutrophils reach 500 and then do a procedure to remove the polyp. They expect her to heal quickly after the polyp is removed. They are hoping her counts will reach the required levels by Saturday -- if they don't it will be Monday. We heard from Dr. Griffiths and she'll be back on Wednesday, so there's a good chance she will be able to do the bone marrow biopsy. Trish's counts are coming back in a much "more normal" pattern this time and that gives me great optimism that she will get to transplant after we get through this little detour. The only problem is that this little detour will further jeopardize our insurance resources for the transplant. I was speaking with one of the hospital billing folks earlier this week and she said AML is probably the toughest diagnosis -- lots of issues along the way -- solid organ transplants are easier before and trouble after transplant --- blood cancers are just a pain all along. Thanks to everyone that has emailed Trish recently, we sat today and I read her all her mail to her. This will be a busy weekend. Lots going on and I know we have lots of prayers from lots of folks - thanks.
