Thank you for kind wishes and advice. I appreciate you sharing your perspective and experience.

Yes, the indecision about finding the best fit with the hematologist and the cancer center for most optimal transplant experience and medical outcomes adds another layer of uncertainty and stress.
The social worker and other professionals advise to find the care he is most comfortable with and avoid the regret down the line of “I wonder what it would have been like if we had checked out a different option.” We will hopefully make the appointment today to visit MD Anderson sometime in the next couple weeks.
Little setback last night though….my husband developed a blood clot in the arm he has his PICC line. This happened with the first PICC line he had put in a couple months ago. He started a blood thinner last night. Hope that helps and he won’t need to have this one removed and replaced.

Thanks again for your kind words.

Take care,
Mary

Getting blood clots is rough! I got one from a PICC line too and had to get blood thinner shots twice a day for half a year. Hang in there and take one day at a time. This will be a challenging year for both of you!

Hi Mary, just checking in with you to see how things are rolling along for your husband’s pending transplant. I know you were in the process of getting second opinions. Any decisions?
