I don't suppose I should even count this as another relapse. Since I was barely out of the hospital for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving then shortly after I started feeling poor again. My appetite was poor, almost non existent. Labs were also all over the place. We started the Neupogen shots I mentioned in a prior post in order to try to resolve things. My white count climbed quickly like it should have but hemoglobin and platelets kept falling.
Bone marrow biopsy on Monday and they had me back in Sanford hospital on Tuesday (Yesterday) already. I haven't got the pathology report yet so I don't have a lot of details on what was found.
We are doing chemo again. This time it is called Dacogen. It's a lighter grade chemo which is generally tolerated a little better then most of the chemo's I have had. Then again, I have tolerated chemo well. Plan is to still get me squared away and then back to Mayo for a consult.
They have stopped all immune-suppressants that I have been on since the transplant. The theory is that this might help my immune system fight the Leukemia. We'll wait and see.
I am feeling much better after just a day. I'll be out for Christmas... Dr. promised. So if nothing else, At least I've got a few nights in my exclusive\all-inclusive home away from home. I am ok with that for now.
Visitors welcome. preference is that you shoot me an email (Grannjo@gmail.com) or text when you might be stopping by, but not mandatory.
