4th year SCT anniversary; FLU

Four years ago, in 2009, Doug was day 2 post stem cell transplant. We've come a long way!

Doug continues to get a CBC every month; so far his absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is holding. Last one was 1.7 which is well above the 1.0 minimum for continuing with Revlimid.

Both of us have had the gastrointestinal flu - I was first and hoping Doug would not get it. Nasty stuff. But he did get it 5 days ago. It hit him pretty hard but he is making a good, but slow, recovery. He is finally eating solid food. We are so thankful that his immune system is capable of fighting!

I have developed an eye problem - "macular pucker" - which makes it difficult for me to work on the computer. Hopefully there will be nothing to report for a while on the myeloma front. I go to see a retinal specialist in Colorado Springs tomorrow (a friend is driving).

Spring is here! So far today we have had snow, rain/snow, sunshine. The weather is confused. We are glad of any bit of moisture, so no complaining.

Love to all.
