I had my one year exam at Johns Hopkins a week ago, and all is good. I got my first set of immunizations (3 shots in one arm and 2 in the other), blood work, and a bone marrow biopsy. My transplant doctor thinks I have "just enough" chronic GVHD to keep relapse away. He did prescribe a steroid rinse for my mouth to try to reduce inflammation in my salivary glands but other than that, I've had no immunosuppressants or steroids. i got my biopsy results today, all good:

"The marrow is normocellular (40%) for age with a normal M:E
ratio. All hematopoietic elements are present with full range of
maturation. Megakaryocytes are normal in number and morphology. The
associated aspirate shows trilineage hematopoiesis with complete
maturation. There is no evidence of increased blasts or significant
dysplasia. Flow cytometry studies show no increase in blasts.
Chimerism: no evidence of patient DNA."

My husband and I are doing a happy dance, for sure!
