Still Fighting
Thanks for the update on Ed. I am glad to hear that he is making progress, despite the inevitable setbacks.
I am doing well at the moment. The chemo was discontinued after three cycles because my biopsy showed that I was back in remission and my chimerism was up to 99%.
Since them my blood counts have been erratic, but they are gradually improving, with frequent and inexplicable drops.
I been having bone marrow biopsies about once a month and I am plagued with GvHD of the gut, skin and eyes, but it is worth the price. The doc is thinking about a top up of stem cells to boost my platelet count.
Thanks for listening to my story. I hope it can be of some help to those on a similar journey. Never give up and keep your focus on the future.
