Brenan is just a few steps away from getting his bone marrow transplant, which is scheduled to occur on Oct 22nd or 23rd. This week he will go through quite a bit of testing which includes an MRI, an EKG, a CT Scan, a bone marrow biopsy, a kidney function test, and many other tests to make sure he's set to go.
Beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 14, he will be administered radiation therapy three times a day for three days. On Friday, Oct. 17, he will receive only two sessions of radiation and will then be admitted into Good Sam in Phoenix to undergo chemotherapy until the bone marrow transplant.
During the time he is going through radiation, he will not be officially admitted into the hospital, but he will be required to stay in a special outpatient room at the hospital so he can be monitored throughout the treatment.
Once the transplant occurs, he is expected to be at Good Sam for about 3 - 4 weeks.
