5 month post bmt

Hi y'all just wanted to give an update my husband is 5 months out and doing really well. Glory to God! I am looking forward to when he is 'more in the clear' but it's nice to not be in constant fear and more in a watchful eye mode!
I know everyone's experience is different but I wanted to share my husbands. God bless to all of you on this site! Pt,loved one,caregiver etc

Heather, it's great to hear that Ron is doing well...

I'm at D+127 already, and things are going well for me also... Off to the doctor this morning for my monthly check-up... (monthly, crazy)...

God is good...
