We heard from the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, and the review committee agreed that I was a good candidate for the autologous stem cell transplant. Their procedure is very much like Scripps'. I'll be hospitalized for 2-3 weeks until my blood counts are recovering, and then I'll spend about 6 weeks recovery at home with frequent out-patient visits to the center.
Scheduling is still not firmed up yet, but probably looking at later this month or early next month at the latest for the transplant. In the next few weeks I'll be getting a bunch of pre-treatment tests done for the insurance company (to approve the transplant).
Soli Deo Gloria!!
