Well we are now a third of a year down the road since the Bone Marrow Transplant without any signs of rejection and getting stronger week on week. This week we had the results of my first bone marrow aspirate (BMA) I had a few weeks ago and it showed no signs of the disease. This is great news, though it does not mean that I am cured as we do have to wait for the results of two more BMAs, one in about 75 days time - the end of the second 100 days and another one a year down the road. We were seen by one of the senior haematologist and he was very positive and told me that I could now start to ease myself into leading a normal life.
It is highly likely that in about two to three weeks time I will start to have my childhood vaccinations again. This does underline that I have started a new life!!!
Stomach is feeling pretty good now. The problem I face at the moment is nausea when I look at certain foods. This could be caused my smell? I still have a sweet sickly, metallic taste in my mouth which increases as the day goes on and that does not help eating as the taste of the food can be awful.
My finger nails are giving me problems as they are painful. This is caused by the new nails growing behind the ones damaged by chemo.
Lost a little weight but this is likely to be due to the fact that I am doing more.
Fatigue is still causing a hassle, but it is not as bad as it was. Just need a rest in the afternoon, no longer in the morning.
