Message from the family nurse Bob is home! He completed his stem cell transplant and was released from the hospital on December 15th a few days earlier than expected. He tolerated the procedure well and had less side effects than many patients going through the same treatment. He is resting at home and still has to take alot of precautions as his immune system is still rebuilding itself. He's happy to be home for Christmas. He still has radiation treatments to take and it will take quite awhile for him to get back to his energetic self. We are grateful that Bob has this behind him. If you visit please continue to take precautions as Bob is susceptible to illness right now. Phone calls and cards are greatly appreciated too. Bob and this family are truly blessed. Merry Christmas!
