Glad to hear you are doing well and fever resolved with only 2 doses Cefipime. Only 5 days ahead of you. Had fevers much of course and was also on Cefipime and Vanco- no bacteria ever identified. Temp went > 105 night after stem cells - required ice baths ...torture. ANC never went below 500 but given Neupogen on day 2. ANC now 3.1 Plat 105 Last dose Neupogen last night; Hopefully the counts will hang in there off Neupogen Not eating or drinking much. Some mucositis - but now improving. Developed a rash on chest and back with some involvement arms and thighs -being treated with topical steroids- thought to be acute GVHD but fortunately no liver or GI involvement. A long road but hopefully if trend continues will look at discharge early to mid week.

Hope your course continues smoothly.
