A Sort of Timeline

Hello Everyone,

I am going to keep this brief because I have a ton of things to do in the next little while.

I think it is very important that you know I have decided to do the allogeneic bone marrow transplant. And do it rather quickly.

After 3 conversations with 3 different doctors, it feels like the only choice I have to live a long term life. They also all were very insistent that I move earlier rather than later. In fact Dr. Houda called me personally out of the blue to express his very strong opinion I do the transplant well before my four month window with PD1.

There are many more questions I need/should answer to you.

But I just do not have it in me right now.

Here is my proposed/most likely medical schedule.

This is the order I think:

• Nov 14- PD1 infusion- Huntsman
• Nov 14 or 15-LDS Hospital Get an official consolation on how the whole process really works. What to expect. Including what I need living arraignment wise after transplant. I.e. How long should I count on living in SLC afterward. 2. Then finding a place to stay for that time period.
• Between Nov 18-27 Get approval from Medicaid: This means Lots of tests,-same as before
• Bone marrow biopsy, STD tests, Heart & lung tests, Drug tests, Labs, psych-social evaluation from LDS Social worker, dental work up
• PET Scan, CT Scan.
• Tests, Tests, Tests
• End of Nov- Medicaid approval
• Nov 27-PD1 infusion
• Dec 1-7 (sometime) Obe has to do a donor evaluation
• Dec 18- Move to SLC. Start the process of destroying my immune system. (not sure how that all works yet.
• Dec 20-22 Obe does the bone marrow transfusion. Day after I get the cells.
• Dec 23- Jan???
• Sit in the hospital for 14-???? days as I recover.
• Jan- Spring: Long recovery and such. Summer timeish Back to moab?

Ok that is it.
I will update again when I feel up to it.
