Great News!!

This morning we received the great news that the donor has passed their labs, and been given the all clear!

Additionally, we received a call from our insurance, they have officially authorized the chemotherapy and transplant!

We are officially a go for transplant! 🙂

Current Timeline:

  • Central IV line placed Friday 1/9/26
  • Chemotherapy begins Monday 1/12/26
  • Chemotherapy ends Sunday 1/18/26
  • Transplant Day 1/22/26

Changes to timeline:

Last Friday we were notified Araeya has been approved for a new chemotherapy regimen. This new regimen uses different forms of chemotherapy. This allows the length/doses of chemotherapy to be decreased from 10 days to 8 days. It also allows them to give much more dialed in treatments that reduces the potential for toxicity or other complications, while still effectively wiping out her existing immune system.

It’s getting real!

WOW! We are really only a few days away… as I think about that, nearly in tears, it’s starting to seem real and sink in…

All of this is an answer to everyone’s prayers! We cannot thank you enough for your continue prayers, support, and encouragement! Thank you!!

  1. I love your thumbs up and beautiful smile! Thank you for sharing the positive updates.

    Remember all the tools you’ve learned to help you. In looking at our session notes, I see Core Activation came up most and Fear Paralysis was second most. I miss you and I thought you might miss me too. 😂 So if you want to watch me on video for Core Activation, here is the link: https://youtu.be/Eqpvpr3xsy4

    If you want a video of the FPR, I could make you one.

    if there is anything I can do from my end, please ask. I am only a text away!

    Best of luck. We are praying for you. Cindy Goldade
