Looking Good

Was it only a few months ago?  It seems like a lifetime.  They told us the odds of success in treating the recurrence of leukemia after transplant were not at all good.  In the early fall Roger went through chemo treatments (again) and recieved more of his brother's stem cells.  Well --- we are dancing a little St. Patrick's Day jig because there is no sign of leukemia in his bone marrow now.

We never forget just how lucky we are.  That's not to say there are no challenges in post-transplant life.  There are.  But after what we've been through, this seems like a cake walk.

We both had bad head colds a couple of weeks ago.  We were miserable and felt sorry for ourselves for a week or so, but even in our misery, we knew that was small potatoes.  The stress of a cold on Roger's immune system has caused a flare-up of GVH.  It's still okay; we'll keep an eye on it.

Roger's blood counts are normal.  His blood chemistry is perfect. 

Lucky, lucky, LUCKY

Jig, jig, JIG!
