Transplant update: feeling not too bad, but remembering that it’s a long road ahead. Taking things one day at a time. I was able to walk around the hospital floor and take a shower, which were nice.
I’m still high risk, my neutrophils and other immune system cells reached 0.00 yesterday, so my immune system is all from antibiotics and antifungals.
But it’s nice to have some time feeling not too bad.
Only 3 more doses of chemotherapy and then I be done with that!
