Hi Sue,

He already had the bone marrow test. That’s how they found out he has Acute Myolegenous Leukemia. If the chemo does not do the trick, he might need a bone marrow transplant, but they have isolated the white blood cell factor he needs in the blood now, so if some of his siblings have the same factor as Jack, they would infuse him with some blood from that person and hope that works. It is all very complicated. We are trying to get him into M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, the best Cancer Research Hospital in the World. We are lucky we live close to Houston so I am waiting to fly down with him in the next few days. He is getting out of our hospital today and gets a brief stay at home but I anticipate he has to be down there real quick.

Love, Barb
