tobin and i went to have a consult with dr. berryman from dallas . the chemo has been unsuccessful as of yet.they have to get him into remission before they will do the marrow transplant we discussed the options of whether to harvest from tobin ( if his marrow is good) or his siblings ,berryman told us he has around a 50% success rate for self harveted marrow and less for sibling donors,i guess those odds are good when the other option has a zero % success rate.i will write more at another time thank you for your continued prayers...jenny

Hang in there guys and be positive that his marrow will be able to be used. That is the best way. When my son was going thru his radiation at UCSF, there was a little 3 year old staying at Family House where we stayed for 6 weeks that had already gone thru chemo, radiation and had his marrow harvested and transplanted. What a little trooper he was. He was a huge inspiration! You are continually in my prayers Tobin, for always.

A lot of people get a 70/30 so you just take that 50 and believe in it that you are on the survivor side. Going into this with believing that you will beat it is necessary. I know you are strong from what you have already gone through and because of that I know you're not gonna stop now just because of the odds. You go for it boy!

Yes, but no. We would have to win a bunch which wont happen cause the Mets are just too good. The Braves need to get some hits.
