Myeloma Journey: Day 13
August 3, 2010
We've decided to go to Hackensack University Medical Center for the stem cell transplant. There were a couple of factors that went into the decision. Duke, although they're a beautiful facility, did only 8 autologus stem cell transplants last year. Hackensack did 150 last year for myeloma and 95 for myeloma so far this year. Duke took an allogeneic transplant of the table, Hackensack took nothing off the table. Hackensack is close to family and that's important to us. The auto transplant will take place, depending on my response to the chemo, in the October/November time frame.
Why are you up so early? Rest and sleep are good! Tip of the day: Don't favor your left leg while doing sit to stands.
ReplyDeleteI think H-sack will be better as well, since there are so many of us in NJ, and Cathy and I are not that far away.
