June 6

Another good report from my transplant doctor this morning. I'm doing well enough that she's extended the time until my next appointment to 6 weeks from the 4 week schedule I was on before. She prescribed a mouth rinse to help with my dry mouth. It's a steroid base that is usually given as an enema for internal gastro problems, so I try not to think about that as I swish it around inside my mouth! The clinic pharmacist recommended I fill the prescription at the hospital pharmacy because my regular chain store pharmacy would be very confused by the prescription. The dry mouth and the off/on again rash are good signs though that my new cells are fighting the last old cancer cells, so it's all good. Still dealing with the neuropathy, numbness and tingling in my lower legs and feet, when I walk any distance but hoping that will get better with time. And my eyebrows pretty much all fell out which is also a symptom of Graft vs Host disease; but they are starting to grow in a little bit again. June already, almost 6 months since my transplant!
