April 18 doctor's appt

Followup appointment with my transplant doctor this am. CT scan was good, no more swollen lymph nodes nor cancer cells in my hip or back. My blood counts are still a little below normal but had improved slightly from the last visit. It's a slow recovery for them now. I have an opthamologist appt tomorrow to check my eyes for damage from the chemo, but haven't had any problems so expect a good checkup there. Trying to get out for walks between snowstorms. Hopefully we saw the last major storm last weekend and spring will really come for Easter!

April 11

Not too much to report. I'm feeling better each day, maybe partly because of the warm, sunny weather we've had the past week. I get out for a walk around the block most days so am getting my fresh air. My incision from the removal of my central line is healing well; nurse Irena did a good job removing the stitches last week. I still have some neuropathy in my legs and feet (nerve damage from the chemo drugs) but that should diminish with time. My energy is getting better so I don't nap as long in the afternoons. All in all things seem to be progressing as expected. My next doctor's appointment is Monday April 18 so I'll see if she agrees with my assessment!
