Isaac is getting his bone marrow transplant
8 February 2023Dear supporters, friends and family,
We are now two days into the start of Isaac's treatment; he has begun receiving chemotherapy, which is the preparatory phase before he receives his stem cell transplant. This'll happen -- all going well -- on Tuesday 14 February.
We are so thankful and grateful for the support that each one of you given to us -- thank you so much. It has helped us enormously to get to this point. We are under no illusions that there will be tough times ahead of us. Right now, we are looking to getting to "Transplant Day" -- Day Zero. After that, we have to get through the first 21 days. And then, the first 100 days. Each milestone will be an achievement.
Isaac has shown great composure, and wants to simply get on with things without a fuss being made. I still think he is coping with the situation much better than Lesley or I are.
Do let us know if you would like to stay in touch. And thank you again for all of your thoughts, your support and your best wishes.
Arohanui 💚
