It has been quite some time since I last posted. I am doing well. Blood counts are stable and and as expected. I have received a couple of rounds of immunizations, and have more to receive. I am exercising and continuing to rebuild.
Two years ago today I had my stem cell transplant. I feel blessed that I have made it so far, and will do my best to go the distance. What that distance is, no one knows, and I hope it is long. I did not get to this point by myself. The wisdom of my doctors and the support of all the people looking after me (especially my family) got me to this point. It is amazing what can happen when we persevere, listen to medical experts and care for each other.
I also started my 23rd chemo cycle this week. After this cycle completes I have only one more to go. I do plan on returning back to work in late August or early September, whatever that may be. My appointments with my transplant doctor continue to be held remotely, with the next one scheduled for this week. My last biopsy, originally scheduled for July, will be pushed out to August or September.
I hope everyone has the chance to enjoy the summer. Stay safe, stay healthy, and take care of each other.
