Blessed & Continue to Hope & Pray

8/17/2020

A little over a week since I met with my transplant doctor, Dr. Perez, and I still feel a bit of shock. True, I am happy & somewhat relieved, but I’ve only been given a temporary reprieve. In reviewing my biopsy, blood & other test results Dr. Perez feels that I am very lucky or blessed. It seems I maybe in the 3% of MDS patients that do not suffer symptoms. And while all 3 of my blood counts are low, 1/2 to 1/3 below the low minimal count, they haven’t continued to drop nor has my blast rate increased from 1.5%. These are all basically the same as they were back in April. So my transplant has been postponed until hopefully there’s a CoVid vaccine or until my numbers fall to warrant doing so. God bless me & all of us affected by CoVid.
