Update: Friday he collected around 200,000 more stem cells. So he is now at 800,000. Doctor says she is confident he will get at least 2 million and he will get a stem cell transplant. They are giving him a 3 week break off his medications and will try again. Originally they wanted 5,000,000, but they said the minimum they would accept for a transplant is 2,000,000, so that is now the goal.
