Ed has to undergo 2-3 chemo treatments and see if they help before he can qualify for the stem cell transplant. He had his first treatment yesterday. He and Mom spent 8 hours at the cancer center; he has an allergic reaction to one of the chemicals so they have to stop and start and it takes a long time. The other chemical he has is in pill format which he takes for 5 days. His siblings are currently being tested to see if they are a match for the stem cell transplant. His next chemo treatment date is Nov. 19th. Please pray with us that the chemo treatments will be effective.
