BMT plus 110 and doing fine

[Guest guest]

BMT +110

Been back home now for over a week and settling back into it nicely. We've had

a real heat wave down here so I have been laying low and trying not to get my

CVC dressing all sweaty.

I did get some initial test results back from the biopsy and blood tests I took

before leaving Houston on the 19th.

My peripheral blood pcr came back to 1.2 from a 5.6! This is a good sign that

either the Gleevec, my immune system or both are fighting the residual levels of

cancer cells.

I will be back in Houston on June 2 for the other test results and to receive

any change in meds. I imagine they will reduce my tacrolimus and start slowly

weaning me off it. I also hope to have this CVC yanked out then too!

I am very encouraged by these intial peripheral blood PCR results.

Health wise, I feel great. Lot's of energy and no outward sign of GVHD. My gut

is a mess...probably the massive doses of Magnesium, though.

Full report will be forthwith upon my return from Houston.

Regards and Prayers.
