Day +101
FYI:Home after 5 months. Rickis day+101! Acute phase is over.
Rick has little to no GVHD. Current symtoms: nail beds soft, sparse hair regrowth, poor appetite. No rashes, no GI distress. Chemo brain greatly improved. fatique improved.....
He still takes fist fulls of pills multiple times each day. Has osteoporosis and low Testosterone. Hypertension and high cholesterol from his Tac and Rapa but all in all life is good. We know it will be months to regain strength, activity level and adjuttments of meds.
We also know we traded one set of medical problems for another ...these are manageable.
we have a gift.
Attitude is everything!
