More good news (message from Henry)

Hello everyone,

We wanted to let you know that Friday ended on a high note. I was in touch with Sick Kids Hospital Transplant program in Toronto and they have received Harry's referral from HSC. Apparently his case is being reviewed by a top-notch transplant surgeon in Toronto and by a haemotologist-oncologist at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital in New York.

We're very pleased with the "Best Doctors" program available to us through our benefits package at IISD. Best Doctors has been extremely helpful getting us connected with experts in Toronto and New York.

Harry's scheduled to start his sixth chemo round next Friday. We're confident that Harry will be an excellent candidate for transplant if his liver tumour is static or smaller and his lungs and lymph nodes remain clear. And we're very grateful for all your prayers and meditations that will ensure this outcome!

With much love to you all,

Henry, Cynthia, Lydia and Harry

Ok, I'm going to say what everyone else is thinking: where is the response from Sick Kids??! I work just down the street and I'm ready to go bang on some doors. (like that will get me far...)

Ok, phew. It was good to get that off my chest.

Hope everyone is doing well over there.

Hi Kristin and family.

Great to see these photos of your own "relay for life". Many thanks for your unwavering support for Harry "way down" in Kansas.

We've also had a chance to check out your latest adventures with your family at your prairie daze blog. Beautiful pictures and reflections.

Much love,

Uncle Gareth and Kathleen
