Update from Leeanne Lewis

Sharkey: Thank you so much for your help. Please tell everyone for us that their thoughtfulness is sincerely and deeply appreciated.

Doug is currently undergoing a battery of tests and x-rays. He has decided to become part of the ongoing clinical studies performed here with the hope that new research for a breakthrough will not only benefit him but others with MM. His actual transplant is scheduled for mid-August. Right now they are establishing a baseline and will prepare him for harvesting of bone marrow within the next couple of weeks. Then he must recuperate from that before they can give him a big dose of chemo and radiation to kill off all of his bone marrow before reinjecting his own, cleansed marrow back.

Thanks again to you and all the others that are helping to make this transplant possible.
