Last Friday they gave Terry platelets that were HLA cross-matched and they gave her a boost up to 87! Today they were back down to 47 but we are hoping they will bump up again on Friday. The tests they have done show that there are none of the donor's cells left in her system and that the myelofibrosis is still present. Because of this they have decided to go ahead with stronger chemo and another transplant with a different donor. The chemo with the first transplant was not as strong because the doctors did not feel that her liver could handle it, but now the benefits are outweighing the risks. The plan right now is to wait about 3-4 weeks and then begin the process again. We'll let you know as we know more, thanks for all of your prayers.
