And the Survey Said...

We have received word from UCSF. I will be hospitalized on Feb 5. I will undergo five days of chemo, then rest for two days. The transplant will take place on Feb 12. I will be hospitalized from 4-6 weeks (doctor guesses 28 days after the transplant). When released, Beck and I will relocate to San Francisco while Emily holds down the fort in Manteca for 3-6 months until UCSF gives the OK to return home. We’ll forward addresses when we know for sure what they are.
More later…

Rick,

I will keep those dates in February in mind and will be thinking of you, particularly on 2/12. That will be a big day and we all hope it goes well. A lot is at stake, but I have confidence it will all work out. Ron

Rick, you have officially attained superhero status; you have cleared each hurdle you've faced as if it weren't even there. You and Beck are in my heart 24/7, and I know your love will turn each of the coming challenges into victories, into good health and much happiness in the years to come. Bless you.

Much Love,
Sue (Sioux City Sue)

Rick:

I read your horoscope for February and it looks great.

My sister (your cousin), Lisa, was just diagnosed with Langerhans cell Histiocytosis (LCH). Is this anything like your disease?

Love, Tony

Hey Rick:

Isn't the big day tomorrow, February 5th? It sounded like Diane's donation procedure went well. Hope to hear that you're doing great very soon.
Love, Tony
