Feb 2..................5 Months post transplant!!!!!!!!

Today is Charmaine's 5 month anniversary after the stem cell transplant!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy how time flies with her home.

She is doing extremely well now. For the past week she has been feeling as if she has never been sick. Little or no side effects or fatigue. She has cleaned and reorganized every cranny of the house.

We did find out from the MRI that she has excessive iron deposits on her liver. The Dr. has ordered a new drug for her called Ex jade to reduce this and take it away. We are waiting now to get it. It has to be ordered by the Dr and comes in the mail??????

Her hair is about an inch long and a beautiful salt/pepper color and feels like velvet. Much thicker than her hair was before.

We only have to go the clinic every 2 weeks now for check ups.

She has started her Sprycell meds (the chemo pill to prevent the leukemia from reoccurring) and is tolerating it very well.

Thanks for all your continued prayers and concern for her.

More later...................
