Hello everyone,
I just got home from my BMT appointment and have some good news and some good news.
My cyclosporine has been progressively reduced and I should be done with this medication by mid May.
The prednisone will also continue to decrease and should be finished in November, if not sooner.
Sometime this summer the doc will schedule a CT scan to compare with the previous one.
Because the GVHD was very aggressive, he is hopeful of a positive result.
The fatigue, nausea and lack of focus he calls chemo sickness. This may last for some time yet, but the reduction in meds will certainly help.
I’m on a double dose of penicillin to combat everyday illnesses and to help “kick-start” my immune system.
This will take a minimum of 1 year.
All in all this is very good news , and I’m thankful to our Heavenly Father for these blessings.
I do see a light at the end on this long tunnel.
Wishing you all the best, Ed
