Things continue to look up for me. My counts climb steadily every day. Today my counts are 30.2 Red/3530 White/88K Platelets/ANC 2020. I feel good most of the time, but find my tiredness meter dips to low quite frequently. I did however get to spend some time on our boat this weekend. It was theraputic to talk with some old friends and to be out doors in beautiful weather.
On Thursday, I'll be getting a special blood test to determine how much patient and how much donor my marrow is right now. The docs want to see all donor marrow at this point. They will also test for T-cell counts - not quite sure why, but I'll find out. These tests are routine as I approach Day +30 which is a big deal and major milestone in the world of bone marrow transplants. It's quite possible I'll only have to go to clinic a couple of times per week, I get to stop my anti-viral meds, and I'll get my driving priviledges back. Yipee!

Bev,
ReplyDeleteSo glad things continue to go well. I'm always thinking of you. I'm sorry we missed you this weekend. It seems like my kids have been sick forever, and I hated to miss seeing you, Dad and Grandpa.
Good luck with your tests!
Love,
Andrea
