So the medication brother started is the actual chemotherapy meds.

It's a 30-day dose. After that, I guess they'll decide from there if he needs more or to move ahead with transplant.

I'm here until then.

I give up on BM. and the eclipse. They're clearly not happening.

friends and family've said 'focus on getting there next year', and i just can't.

i can't plan because as far as i can tell next year will be worse. either i won't have money or time or both. likely both.

@neonNeptunian Isn't it a 3 week prep time still? From that 30 days?

@Doephin At least, yes. Possibly longer, depending on if they see him as 'ready' after that 30 days or say he needs more treatment.

That's why i'm calling it quits on Burning Man andor eclipse-watching plans now; they clearly aren't happening, no matter how badly I hope otherwise.

@neonNeptunian @Doephin What I do don't understand, I guess, is why you couldn't fly home in the interim waiting time, and fly back once you have a date. You'd be waiting, but not stuck for a whole month in a situation you don't want to be in.
Aside from the plane ticket costs, at least.
