Relapse after transplant

MY dad had a bone marrow transplant 4 years ago. We found out Tuesday the MM had come back and is eating one of his bones. He's in the hospital awaiting surgery.
The first time around, I wasn't scared. I don't know if I was just young and niave. This time around, I must be older and wiser, because I'm really scared. He has great drs, so that helps. I don't know what to do.

" Hang in there and really all you can do is be there for your dad. I just had a bone marrow transplant and I've been home for 3 weeks now but was gone for 6 weeks and I loved getting funny cards and just someone to be there with me. We really don't want to be entertained, just want to know you are there. I wish your dad well. My BMT blog is at www.janscancerjourney.blogspot.com. "
