Two Months After the Transplant

DAY +60 (post-transplant):

"I go to the BMT clinic twice a week, so far my lab work is looking good. Dylan takes me on his way to work and Ken picks me up after he gets off work, so we manage to pull it off . I was just telling Jessica on the phone today that I am feeling housebound, but Ken says everybody in central Arizona feels that way because of the summer heat right now. We all stay indoors with the air conditioning and look out the window at the huge white clouds building up in the sizzling heat. I was hoping to be out of the hospital in time for the desert monsoon season. Welcome monsoon!"

"I have had a temporary loss of hearing in one ear because of the medications I was taking. This is supposed to come back eventually. I do have one good ear left to hear any gossip or good stories you mught want to tell me."

What an inspiration you are! My husband is just now waiting for his interview with Dr. A. and I'm online looking for patients who know something about Good Sam's City of Hope program. In the last couple of years we've become more familiar with local hospitals than we ever intended, but under the circumstances (relapse of non-Hodgins lymphoma) it looks like we'll be adding another to our "been-there-done-that" list. Prayers and best wishes for your continuing progress, Margaret.

Joanne, I am very pleased with the City of Hope. Any problems they are a phone call away 24/7. The medical care is excellent. I wish your husband much success in fighting off this disease. May God bless and keep you both in His love,peace and grant you strength. Margaret

Hola Isabelle!
Writing you from London Heathrow. Wow what a great vacation our family had. I'll be seeing you probably on Tuesday if you are up to it. You look awesome in your newest pic. All the best to the kids, Ken and that Scottish Lassie you know so well.
Love, Maria
