Oct 10: Big jump in numbers and transplant update

 My numbers took a big jump to near normal with my blood draw Mon. Platelets went from a 9 on Fri to 152 on Monday. Just amazed. 

Talk with my transplant coordinator today. They've identified a potential match from the donor database. Further match testing going on this week; results likely next week. If they are ultimately a qualified match, they'll look for a backup donor before proceeding. In the meantime, I still have 2 more rounds of chemo to complete. 

Taste is almost back to normal - yea!  

Thanks be to God.
