Round 3!

Erkki's blood counts are beautiful today!
He will have a heart scan next Wed. and be admitted that very day if there is a bed available at Princess Margaret and chemotherapy will begin immediately.He doesn't need to be in the hospital until about 7 days after the chemotherapy begins but given the shortage of beds, he will take a bed as soon as it's available or he might be out of luck when he needs one.
 
In the meantime, we urge all of you and your friends to consider donating blood. As you probably know there is a critical shortage right now and there are other "Erkki's" out there who are not receiving the transfusions they need.

Hey Ekki;
I was really surprised to hear from John O'toole you were sick but it looks and sounds like you are being well looked after.
Keep up the fight!!! It's a good time to be out of the market.
