Today we had our Exit Consultation with Dr. Holmberg. The meeting was a summary of what I had been through and all the potential problems that could come up post transplant and what to watch for. It almost sounds like the transplant was the easy part and now that they've totally beat up my body, it's open for a whole host of new problems. Thankfully, most of them have low percentages so we're keeping our fingers crossed that all goes smoothly. I will still have doctor visits weekly for the next couple of months. In addition, there will be tests done throughout this first year including several bone marrow, CT and of course blood draws. After that it will be yearly visits to the clinic for the whole battery of tests that I went through pre-transplant to monitor any changes. My blog postings will not be daily (or so) as they have been, but I will try to keep you all informed of how I'm doing. I truly appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, cards, emails and encouragement. I know you all helped me get through this ordeal. I especially want to thank all my caregivers and everyone that helped me out at my house and at work. We couldn't have done it without you all. And to Marc, it's been a hell of a ride and I've put you through the ringer and you were there for everything. I Love You!!
