I have had an extensive physical at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and am in great shape.

 

I have been tested for all sorts of viruses and conditions and have none of  them.

 

I am in great shape and will be an excellent stem cell donor for my brother- who has bone marrow cancer.

 

We expect to give him the transplant around the 1st week of September.

 

Since we are such a good match, that ups his chances for recovery considerably.

 

This is excellent news for our family and, we're going out for a steak tonight. 

 

I will be flying home in the morning.

Great news for both of you. It is unfortunate that your visit to the northwest is for such a serious reason. Hopefully your next visit will begin a better time for your brother, you and the rest of the family!!

All the best to you both!  
From what I read the actual transplant is harder on you than him, but his prep will be extensive, something you will not need to do.  

 

May both proceedures go well with a minimum of discomfort for you both!
