NYC Trip

Today Mindy, my dad, my mom and myself went to NYC to have a consult with a doctor from Memorial Sloan Kettering(one of the top cancer research centers in the world for my type of leukemia) It went great!!!! Dr. Papadopolis was very intelligent and has been doing transplants for 20 years. She informed us of some interesting techniques and procedures they offer at MSKCC. She was very positive. We then took a tour of the transplant floor which was awesome. I will be locked in a room for around 30 days and not permitted to leave. Anyone who enters my room must wear gloves, a mask, and sometimes a gown. Mindy and I will then be living in NYC for 3 months following the transplant. All in all today was a monumental day on my path to having a transplant and being cured.

There may have been some misunderstanding regarding the match I spoke of in my last post. I found out that I may have a potential 10/10 match but nothing has been confirmed yet, we should know within the next 2 weeks.

Proverbs 3:5-8
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and marrow to your bones.

How fitting....
