------ Forwarded Message To: board@ptg.org Subject: Roger W. Update Sorry to be so long in updating you on the situation. Wanted to wait until I had something concrete to pass along. We were very excited last week, we thought things were going well. I held off on my notes and it is good that I did. We got bad news this week. The transplant did not take, his body rejected the donor marrow. We are back to square one again. We came home today, hopefully for 2-3 weeks to think things over before deciding on the next step. There are some options still to consider. Not one is good, but still, we are not at the end of the line. We are on to plan "F". Plans A,B,C,D and E did not work. The doctors said they did not help Roger, but at least they did not hurt him either. Which I think from what they said, that is unusual after this many treatments. They said usually the patients are in not very good condition by this point if nothing worked , and Roger seems to be not much worse off than he was at the beginning of Sept. Usually there is damage to major organs after so much. Will be in touch soon. MJ ------ End of Forwarded Message
