    Hi Newly,

    Yes, like Julie and Ms. Chaitowitz said his was inpatient & it was pretty intensive. My husband was hospitalized for the entire month of March (although not everyone is hospitalized this long, my husband just had a particularly rough time with the chemo).

    Hi,

    If anyone is interested MD Anderson is doing some trials (very early stages) on NK (natural killer) cells found in cord blood. The study stood out to me because they are using the expanded cord in persons who don’t qualify for a SCT. The website is http://www.mdanderson.org/topics/bmtatmda/ and the article along with others can be found on the right hand side.

    I believe that they have started taking patients (if not they may be soon), I saw a explanation for staff here on the SCT floor where I am currently located

    Just thought I would pass along this information in case anyone is interested.

    Dearest Newlywed,

    My heart is with you. My husband was dx 02.08 and is also very young. We have been at MD Anderson for the duration of his treatment in Houston, TX. Again, my heart and prayers are with you guys.

    Desiree
