@hopeful33250 She just finished her 3rd round of chemo on Monday. She had to arrive at 7:30 AM for blood tests. By the time everything was complete, she didn't get home until 3:30 AM on Tuesday morning. Three more chemo treatments to go. She was told on Monday that under the standard protocol for her cancer, once the chemo is done, she should have a stem cell transplant which would require a one month stay in the hospital. She can also decide to participate in a clinical trial. If she does that she may or may not get the stem cell transplant depending on which group she is placed in. It has been very hard on her husband - lots of scheduled and unscheduled trips to the doctor and the hospital. She needs frequent platelet and blood transfusions and they have to keep removing fluids to keep her lungs from collapsing
