Helford Hospital Finally

We are finally there. My mom (Pat Patton) has start her Chemo for the transplant. She start on Thursday and will get Chemo very day until Tuesday and then they will admit her. She will be admitted on Tuesday and get settled and then they start the major doses of Chemo and other medications to prepare her to receive the transplant. Then she will get her new T-cells. The day she gets her T-cells is day 0, then we count up for there until day 100. Then we celebrate her home coming.

She will be at Helford Hospital at City of Hope. She will be there through most of the major Holidays. She is allowed visitors and would love to have them. There are guidelines there to protect the patients. Please visit the link post to the right side under visitation guidelines.

She did get more good news the results of the biopsy showed that the cancer in her bones has dropped to 10% down for 90%. Yeah!!!!! So we are starting off very good.

Will write more later thank you all.

The Biopsy

So my mother is an easy drunk. She had her biopsy today and it went as well as it can with out being put under. They gave her lots of medication, it did not get rid of the pain, but made it so she did not care she was in pain, it worked okay. She is a funny drunk person. I found out today that the dates I had are wrong, some would say I heard it wrong, others would say I was told wrong, However you look at it they are wrong, So here are the new dates: She starts her transplant chemo on Friday October 16 and has it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and then put into the hospital on Tuesday October 20th.

However we have a meeting with the doctor tomorrow, so all this can change again. Will update again soon.

Hope
