After enduring R for Relapse and R for Rejection (as well as R for Remission), this week I have completed my day 100 post transplant testing including bone marrow biopsy and am able to say I am in the Recovery phase of this illness. The bone marrow was all clear! Yahoo!
I am living in my own home, eating and drinking normally, and building strength daily. I will continue to have challenges with reduced immune function and strength over the next year or more but it is nice to be coming out of the fog. I've been enjoying snippets of sunshine and Vitamin D on the back deck and fortunately we have lots of big trees to shield the neighbours from my maximally exposed skin! Thanks again to all of you who are my support team and helped get me to this place.
