We received the the much anticipated telephone call from our transplant coordinator yesterday. Dennis and I will be leaving for Detroit on Monday afternoon, November 26 so Dennis can begin the grueling medical preparation necessary for his transplant. We will be staying close-by the Karmanos Cancer Center, at The Holiday Inn Express on Washington Blvd., during four nights this week.
- Tuesday - Meet with Dennis' doctor. Dennis will also receive his PICC line on this day.
- Wednesday - Dennis will undergo 8-hours of chemotherapy; this is the very heavy dose of chemo that his doctor refers to as "the hammer'.
- Thursday - IV fluid intake and monitoring all-day.
Dennis will be admitted to Karmanos, and will receive his stem cell / bone marrow transplant on Friday, November 30.
