Hi all!
I just went through my 4 year testing - PET/CT scan and pulmonary function
test - and of course the regular blood work. I have refused a bone marrow
aspirate since my 1st anniversary - no need to cause so much pain when they
can get most of their answers from the peripheral blood.
So, 4 years after my tandem stem cell transplants,
I AM CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My lungs are back to 100% capacity although they are not completely
efficient yet. My counts are normal, my CBC is normal. Basically I need to
gain weight and I am good to go!
I do have lasting stiffness in my shoulders from GVHD that may or may not
improve with regular PT and stretching. I am almost off all my medications
- 6 more weeks and multi-vitamins will be my ONLY pills!
So, there is a light at the end of tunnel and I am putting on my sunglasses!!
WOO HOOOOOOOOOO!
Molly
