Two Birthdays in one week

I have 2 Birthdays this week, June 18th was my 61st Birthday and June 24th will be my 1st re-Birthday after transplant. I had my 1 yr. BMB and there was no sign of MDS. My blood counts were all in normal range with hmg. 9.8. That is the highest hmg has been since transplant. I still feel weak & I tire easily but I guess that is normal.
I also got paper to fill out to hopefully contact donor.
I am very thankful for this site, to be able to see how others with this disease are doing.

Thank You

WOW ! June 18th is a special day. Dr didn't mention B cells this visit. It was a short visit. I will hopefully get more info next time.

Yes it is - I don't read horoscopes so don't take that Gemini remark to serious . So, your counts just came up on their own? that is great news!!

I don't read horoscopes either. My other counts have been good for a while, but my hmg. never got over 9, usually between 7-8. When it got to 7 I would need blood transfusion. I usually had 1 or 2 transfusions a month. I am hoping that my blood type changing to donors type will help keep hmg up.:
