Another good report from the doctor yesterday. My white blood cells and especially by neutrophils continue to improve which is good as they are the disease fighting cells. I had some IV fluids as still struggling to drink as much as they want me to but not a big deal. Best news, the doctor reduced my dose of cyclosporin, which is a ghastly tasting medicine, and should be able to start reducing it even more after the next two weeks. That will help my appetite immensely so I'm looking forward to that.
In case you wonder why I head these blogs with "Day +#", it's a count up to Day +100 from transplant day. At that point the doctor will do a bone marrow biopsy to determine how well the transplant worked. It's the big milestone date. It might not be exactly 100 days but it'll be around then depending on how things go. So I'm almost half way there.
Feeling much better this week than last so hopefully that continues. It's supposed to warm up to +8C by Thursday so I'll be able to get outside for a walk and get rid of the cabin fever.
Next appointment is next Monday so I'll report again after that. Hard to believe it's February already.
