Now Leukemia Free

That's the news from my doc at OHSU today, day +66.
Nov 2013 diagnosed with CMML, 2-3 years to live. Blasts were around 8%. Did 8 cycles of Decitibine.
Nov 2014, went in for transplant but CMML had changed into AML and blasts of 45%.
Did 28 day chemo conditioning 7+3.
Two weeks at home.
Then January 1 back to OHSU,chemo 5+2, and got my transplant on January 6th.

I have had no sign of GVH but we'll see when they start with drawing the Tacrilimus which is the immune-suppressant.

I am still tired and weary, have dry mouth but overall not bad at all.
Write if you have any questions.
JOHN
