It's been so long

Yes, it's me, Todd, finally blogging once again. Sorry it's been so long but December was a cruddy month to say the least. So...Here's the latest...

I got my 4th bone marrow biopsy this past Monday the 11th and the preliminary results are back showing no leukemic activity! I'm in remission!! The next step is a bone marrow transplant at City of Hope. They are working on finding a match for me. They have located 3 domestic and one international close matches. Not perfect, but close. The Doctors are trying to figure out if any of them can be used for a successful transplant. They also have cord blood for me if I need that. Kelly and I are going to City of Hope next Thursday the 21st to meet with the transplant team and plan what comes next. Either the team will have a donor for me and we move to Pasadena for four months during transplant or I hit Hoag again for another round of chemo to stay in remission until they find a donor match. We are hoping to get the show on the road here.....but we'll know more on the 21st. Thank you for everything you are doing to help me and my family through this rough time. We could not do this without all your prayers and help. Thank you!!
