I think you are right. Actually am looking forward to the transplant now. Hope that can still happen. I probably should have connected before as I originally had little bone involvement. I was too lucky on my first round that I did not anticipate that I might not actually be in remission! Guess I am feeling a bit better as have begun to shop! My poor husband! Loved your pictures and your dog is so big. Mine died a few years ago. Cancer. He was a Chinese Shar Pei mix. Hard to say but the vet recommended to me a Seresto dog collar and within a few months the cancer. Cancer is everywhere it seems! Cannot seem to get away from plastics either. Of course the goal is now to try and manage this and I have found this site to be extremely helpful especially when I have been down about care and treatments and those numbers!!! It is hard to know what is impacting on those ups and downs. Am waiting for my regular bloodwork to post as also worried about kidneys and liver and glucose. All have been well so far, but if get to a second remission there will be nothing to impede a transplant.
