Hard to believe it's been 6 months since my bone marrow transplant. Yesterday, my wife and I ventured to Chicago once again to have a few tests done and a bone marrow biopsy. I'm still waiting to hear the results, but hopefully I'll have them this week.
I have returned to work full-time and that's going much better. I'm not nearly as tired as I used to be. And I'm able to do things when I get home around the house. It feels very good to be resuming some sort of normalcy again. My strength and stamina are still returning as well.
This past Sunday I stopped taking Prograf. This was the immune suppressing drug that I feel was responsible for the neuropathy in my feet and hands. Since I've stopped taking it, I have noticed a dramatic improvement in the overall feeling in my extremities. They gradually weeded me off of the drug over a two week period. But in the last month, my guitar playing has gotten much better and I can write almost normal again.
For those of you that may or may not have noticed, I had a new visitor who commented in one of my recent posts. His name is Daniel and he's from Romania. He was recently diagnosed with ALL and his blog can be found here.
This link is the translated link from Google, so hopefully it works. You are in our thoughts and we wish you well. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions. I'd be happy to help.
