D+100: A Significant Milestone

It is now triple digits post-transplant. D+100 is considered an important milestone for stem cell transplant patients since the greatest risk for critical side effects has past. But, as I had mentioned before, my immunity is still immature which will take some time to return to normal. Key for me is to stay healthy and not to be exposed to any illnesses. I have been home for several days now and it really is great. I still have many constraints to work with, but my spaceship world has opened up a little more. Being home also allows me to help out with domestic tasks, relieving the burden on my wife.

My next appointment is with my oncologist at Strong Memorial in Rochester later this week. I still have maintenance shots to coordinate and am not sure whether I have to receive them at Strong or ideally here at the local cancer center. I will also return to MSK in several weeks for a check-in with my transplant doctor.
