I mean the end of the transplant process is near: I'll be released on June 29th to my oncologist and I have only one more appointment before then to remove my catheter. My energy has improved a lot and I'm eating a lot better too so life is becoming a little more normal. I'm still in isolation for a couple more months unfortunately but other than boredom it's not too terrible.
A note for any readers who are blood donors: the platelets that I received during my treatment came from Atlanta Blood Services. They are always looking for platelet donors, so give them a call at 404-459-8744. They're located across the hall from BMT and I think they are associated with each other.
Recovery Cont'd - May 24 thru June 6
There's not a whole lot to write about except the continued recovery from the chemo and transplant. The lab results usually improve day to day, and the clinic visits have been cut to two per week now and I stay about three hours instead of six as before. Some energy is returning slowly and my appetite is also returning slowly. The only new therapy is a pulmonary deal where I go in once a month to prevent a type of pneumonia from developing.
It's now been 30 days since the transplant and everything is going as well as could be hoped. Sometime between now and Day 50, I'll be released from the clinic and back to my oncologist. But I'll still be in "isolation" until Day 100 I think. I guess a more normal life will start then, I hope.
