Pressing onward...


Hello! Is anyone out there? Yep, it’s me the slacker, a.k.a the Jack of all trades, the master of none. Yep, I’ve been neglectful of this little blog and I apologize. It’s not that I don’t care, I just run out of time. And, quite honestly, not much changes from day to day.

So here is the short of it. Dad is doing well. At a 100 days post transplant he received more tests, scans, biopsies, blood draws etc. etc. They are still detecting the “abnormal cells” that were present prior to the transplant but feel confident that he has fully engrafted. That is good. Hopefully those healthy donor cells will engage a little warfare on the bad cells.

His counts have been good and his immunity has stayed up. All steps in the right direction. He still needs to avoid large crowds, the sun, dust etc.….basically, he needs to stay in his little bubble. He has a hard time with that. 

Cancer is no party…but being a fighter and surviving is something to celebrate!
