Consolidation

Kristi got the call that a bed was available a the Huntsman today at 3pm. They wanted her there by 3:45. It's 4:00 and we are checked in. She will have 3 rounds of high-dose AraC over 5 days. Because of the infection a month ago, she will be an in-patient for the whole thing.

K also got a call from her BMT coordinator today. She's been fully approved for the transplant and a marrow/stem cell order has been placed for 5 weeks from now. This means that she will probably go in for the Transplant on August 1. She has agreed to be part of a study to which she may randomize to have only the stem cells, rather than the raw/filtered marrow. The information we have read about this study has been very positive.
