It has now been nine months since my stem cell transplant and it is going well. I had my nine month biopsy last week and initial results indicate no leukemia detected. That is great news! I am still waiting to hear back on any updates on my immunity status.
I continue to exercise and use the same precautions in order to avoid infections. A major infection can still wreak havoc with the recovery process so better to stay conservative at this point.
This week I am receiving my 8th cycle of chemo maintenance shots. Besides some site soreness and minor fatigue the side effects are not significant. Only four more cycles to go.
