Late Friday we got John's schedule for this week and we are zooming forward! Each day we are one day closer to our goal. Tuesday we have a day of further consultation with the lead doctor of John's medical team, Dr. Gertz, who is Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic here in Rochester. He is considered to be the leading Amyloidosis expert in the world and is directing every detail of John's treatment. We will have more information on Tuesday, but we do know that John will undergo Step Three of the stem cell transplant process, known as conditioning, on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, Dec. 9 will be the day we've been waiting for: the day of the actual stem cell transplant. More on conditioning and photos from the transplant floor at Mayo to come!
