Day -2

DSC01599a.JPG
Today is the last day of chemo. So far so good however today also starts Thymoglobulin which Dr. Bunin calls the rabbit stuff and this will turn Jack into a rabbit. Truthfully, this stuff is used to help deplete T-cells to help minimize the Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD is exactly what is sounds like. Graft (donor cells) and Host cells get together and fight over territory. We are hoping for no GVHD and that the donor cells take over with no problem.

Keep Knocking and Praying.

TWO DAYS TO GO!!!!!
