Day 96+ - good news
Finally talked to my doctor about the results from my latest biopsy. It showed really good results from the transplant. The Waldenstrom cancer cells are down to only 10% of the cells in my marrow. They were at 50% before my transplant. I think last year before I first started chemo they were 70%. So quite a reduction. Also my marrow is over 98% donor cells so the transplant took really well. That also means those cells will keep working and hopefully reduce the cancer cells to 0%. Also my cells are still 'hypocellular' which means they are still recovering from the chemo which is good because they will still get healthier over the next few months as they continue to recover from the chemo drugs. That's why my blood counts are still below normal but they'll continue to improve over the next few months. So I am right where they want me in my recovery process which is great news. Thanks again for all your good thoughts and prayers - they worked!
