September 8, 2006

Hi Everyone,

We are back in the hospital since Wednesday for a transplant. Unfortunately, the doctors said we won't find an unrelated donor because of my genetic coding. There were too many mismatches.

Luckily, we found a good match in the umbilical cord bank. We are part of the double cord blood transplant trial. The doctor that wrote the protocol is now with Sloan and is head of the department. We started Chemo on Thursday which will finish Saturday, then four days of radiation. My transplant will be on Thursday.

We are in isolation, we have to be very cautious, so we are not having visitors.

We want to thank everyone for helping with and singing up for the donor drive.

We want to thank you all for your kindness, caring and support.

The Brasses
