This will probably be pretty brief because I don’t know that I have much to say, but today is my 100th day after transplant and I thought I should note it.
It’s fair to say that I was clueless about what this would involve. I don’t know why that would be - I read everything […]
I met both with Dr. Duvic and Dr. Hosing today. Dr. Duvic is happy as a proverbial clam. No t-cells, I’ve taken on all the characteristics of my donor and I am cancer free. It’s all good.
Dr. Hosing is pleased that I am finally growing new platelets. In the […]

I had a bone marrow aspiration done today. Dr. Hosing is hoping it will explain why I’m not producing platelets. When I found out that this was going to happen, I told my team that the last aspiration I had done was administered by a real artist, one who had made the experience […]

I have had so many wonderful people in my life who have cared for me or offered support or just sent words of encouragement and although I have offered thanks on this blog in the past, it never seems quite adequate. I don’t know that it ever will. I would like everyone to […]

For the past couple of weeks my transplant team has been […]

I haven’t been very good about keeping up, about keeping you informed, have I? I wrote a couple of pieces that somehow vanished and never made the blog. More than that, I don’t know that I have anything coherent to say. So much of the time I feel like […]
In the end, there was little reason to be so stressed out over the unknown of Rita. My brother and I made all the adjustments we could. It wasn’t enough to put my mind at ease, but by midnight it was clear the worst of the hurricane went to the east of Houston […]
