What an awesome weekend. Emma had a busy social weekend. She is really looking forward to seeing big brother toga Joe this coming Columbus Day weekend. Toga Joe earned his nickname based on how he spent his weekend at Bowdoin.
Jim, my Mom and I enjoyed a lovely dinner with our great friends Jack and Judy while watching the buckeys stumble to victory.
Back at the clinic and have a partial read of the bone marrow biopsy. It shows my bone marrow is not filled with leukemia which is awesome as that was one of the things that could explain the low white count and low platelet count. It does leave us wondering what is going on. Could be graft v host. We will have a better sense of that when the full read of the biopsy is in. I also had a skin biopsy today on a pretty little rash that has been spreading rapidly. This too could be gvh and that would not be a bad thing as it shows my new immune system is hard at work. So again living in the land of uncertainty but I am so glad there was no back news.
Getting an infusion now to help with the development of platelets. Then maybe more platelets and red blood.
Will probably be going in to the clinic daily for awhile. We will keep you posted.
Thanks for checking in. Love Maureen
Maureen was admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston MA 12/16/14 with Acute Myloid Leukemia. She underwent two rounds of high intensity chemo followed by a transplant March 19, 2015. The leukemia was in remission for several months but returned late August '15. Since then Maureen has had several different types of treatment both as an inpatient and outpatient. Currently Maureen is in the hospital (10/17) receiving two different chemo regimens. She hopes to go home soon.
