Another day in the books. The air cleared a bit so I did walk to the clinic and walked around South Lake Union. After a step back weekend I was back to 10,000 steps over 4+ miles. It was also a good day for lab tests. My CBC is stable although I continue to be a bit anemic and my white cells are down a bit. My chemistry liver and kidney tests are also stable. I also had a dexa scan today and no surprise is that my bones are a bit thin – osteoporosis. I don’t see that as a problem and will see if any treatments are recommended. The great news today is that in looking at which cells are populating my bone marrow and peripheral blood, the cells are 100% my brother’s, meaning the transplant to this point has been a success. One more step toward returning to home now planned for the weekend of Sept 15-17. Emotions are all across the board.
