This will be the last update for a week, as I am going to Hawaii with my 83 year old mother today :-)
Ed will check into the hospital for another 4 day round of chemo, probably today. His spirits are still good. He has lost 35 pounds, and has experienced some side effects from the chemo, but his appetite is good.
He will be visiting Fred Hutch next week. The doctors are preparing for a bone marrow transplant within the next 6 months. If you haven't registered as a donor, and were thinking you should, now would be a good time to do so. Ed was adopted as an infant, so blood relatives as potential donors are not available at this time. If a transplant is need, he will be matched to someone in the donor pool.
Thank you for all who have blessed the family with financial gifts. It makes a difference. Cancer is not for wimps, and it is not cheap.
Please feel free to spread this email to all who might be interested in getting an update. And if you would prefer not to get these any more, please email me and I will take you off the distribution list.
Thank you for continuing to keep the entire Jackson family in your prayers,
Barb
