He came home on Monday at 2.30pm because apparently there are less germs to be caught at home than in hospital.... he has to go back on Thursday for blood tests.. We were told that in 10 days they would know if Corey is compatible to be a marrow donor…
One of the Dr’s said at this time that he could not go to work for at least a month or so... he will probably have to have a bone marrow transplant... We felt it was so all is up in the air... We were waiting on the results of the tests so they could decide how much and what type of chemo to give him, or if they need to give him any at all... and if his bother was a tissue match then it might have been only be 3 or 4 weeks till the transplant... or they would have to see if there is another donor with his tissue type... he may need to go on an immune suppressant until the time of the opp or if there is no match the immune suppressant is the treatment…maybe... If he has the transplant it could be 6 to 8 weeks after that b4 he can go back to work.. so with that amount of possible time off of work who knows what will happen?... The transplant will be happening at the Royal Brisbane as they are the specialists there.. the Dr's can give no definite answers yet as the test results are not conclusive... Life hangs in the balance so to speak...
At the moment we are just trying to get him to have enough energy to go for a walk around our house... then maybe we can look at other things..
ah we were so infantile in the disease... we really were going to learn much more
