Had the last of my gamma scans today. I have passed all my tests and been cleared to proceed with the radiation and transplant. The only possible hurdle I have left is to pass the HAMA blood test next week. This is a screening to see if I have a mouse antibody living in my system. I've had this test done a couple of weeks ago and it was negative, but they need to re-check to see if it's changed and make sure I don't test positive. Evidentially it has happened on a rare occassion that you can acquire this antibody as a result of the test dose of radiation I received last week. It's not very common so hopefully it won't become an issue. If it does, things will come to a stop and we'll have to determine another path for me to go down in place of this type of radiation therapy. We'll deal with that next week. For the meantime, I have a four day weekend with no medical visits!!
