I only now reached 100+ seven months post transplant. The main thing is how his marrow looks at this point- glad he's feeling well. Sorry you all have to go through this -I'm sure its stressful - but hoping its not too big a deal.

Paul, We will be getting the results later today. He did not have any GVHD at the moment and I believe he reduced it last week to err on the side of caution if it is a relapse. He's about 5 months post-transplant. About a month ago the doctor stopped the Tacro for 5 days because his kidneys and liver were taking a hit and that's when we noticed the plts dropping and petechial (small bruises) on his legs! I hope there is a correlation with that. I will update as soon as a hear something.
