We've gotten all this great news lately and we think we've developed a plan that maximizes our good fortune. Here a recap of the facts:
1) A suitable stem cell donor has been found.
2) We're moving to Vancouver, CN.
3) I'm on a chemo maintenance program.
So, our plan is to:
1) Keep me on maintenance for as long as it continues to work.
2) See if we can harvest stem cells from the donor now and freeze them until they're needed. We don't want the allo transplant until there's no other option.
3) Move to Canada.
4) Keep me on Ed's COBRA benefits.
5) Drive back and forth from Vancouver to Seattle a lot.
6) Investigate Medicare / Medicaid
7) Try to make me a Canadian permanent resident and eventual citizen. (We've already contacted an attorney.)
8) Enjoy life in the maze.
Life is exciting in our house.

This blog is written by and about a guy with an incurable form of cancer. My purpose here isn't to say "woe is me", but to give insight about my thoughts, perspectives, and experiences throughout this adventure. My name is Andre. My partner's name is Ed. I intend to publish on a pretty regular basis here, but Ed might occasionally pop in with his thoughts too.
