BAD, SAD news

Horrible, horrible news today. Graham won't be able to have the bone marrow transplant as planned, because test results from yesterday's PET scan show that the cancer has spread all over. It's in his skull, neck, chest, lungs, belly, spleen, under arms, thigh...

The doctors want to see if chemo will beat it back down again well enough for him to be able to get a transplant. But he's already been treated with the most powerful chemo combos without success, so the odds aren't good. The doctor told Graham to put his affairs in order because if the chemo doesn't work, he will likely have less than two months to live.

It's so unfair. Graham is such an incredibly good person, an absolute mensch, and way too young.

It's still possible that things will work out. We'll continue to hope for a good outcome, but will plan for all possibilities.

We're looking forward to having our East Coast relatives visit.

Hugs to everyone.
