        I'm praying for strength for you and begging God for a miracle for your family.  If you ever need to talk, I've been where you are.  

        Hugs to you and your dear family.

            First I want to say I'm so sorry you are here.  I'm so sorry another person has to be dealing with this.  

            My husband was "upgraded" to stage IV in July of last year.  10 days after the birth of our baby boy.  Everything you're going through now…I've been there.  I found the waiting part to be the worst.  I'll keep you and your husband in my prayers.  

            Hugs to you both.

                I am so sorry for your loss.  I know the pain you are dealing with.  I lost my husband to melanoma on Jan 11th.  He was just 29 years old. 

                You are in my thoughts and if you ever want to talk to anyone, please feel free to contact me. 

                Try to take care of yourself over the next few months…they are just brutal.

                        My husband had to do this before he entered into his current trial.  From what I understand from him, (I wasn't allowed to sit with him) it wasn't a big deal.  They hooked him up to 2 IVs.  They took the blood out of one arm, put it through a machine that spun out the white blood cells, and then put the blood back in the other arm.  It took a couple of hours.  He'll do another round the first week of December, but that one will only take 1 hour.  I guess it depends on how many cells they need.  

                        Hope this info helps!  Take care of yourself!!
