2nd ASCT - Day 28 - MAJOR HAPPY June 15 2012

On only Day 28, my brother, Jeff, drove me from Colorado home to Mackay, Idaho today. We are following Jani in her truck. It was a long trip of 680 miles.

Jani, Jeff, and Judy in Cokeville, Wyoming.

Greeting our 91.5 year old father, Frank, just in time for Father's Day. We are ALL HAPPY HAPPY!

And to top our arrival in Mackay, Idaho off - the weather was PERFECT! 


Thank you Jeff and Jani for bringing me home! I will receive my follow-up care in Twin Falls, Idaho directed by the UCH Transplant Team. Jani will drive me back to UCH in Colorado for a July 12 2012 appointment (Day 55) to have a bone marrow biopsy to see how this 2nd ASCT (autologous stem cell transplant) has worked on my multiple myeloma relapse. But, we will return to Mackay immediately after and get the results over the phone one week later. Depending on the bone marrow biopsy results, a maintenance chemotherapy plan will begin.

The sun is so bright, I'm squinting. That's Mt. McCaleb (elevation 11, 427) over my shoulder - part of the Lost River Range. Taken from my front porch.
