Day 91 post transplant

Summary - all going well
I had a clinic on Wednesday and got some good news
I have had a resurgence of the CMV virus, but it has gone away again.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the herpesvirus family. Infection is worldwide and usually asymptomatic. Until your immune system gets on top of things CMV can be dangerous to post transplant patients.

My latest chimerism test was good but we need the % of CV3 result needs to improve. Coming off the drugs that were treating CMV will help. It's all a balancing act. If the CV3 gets poor ie a low percentage of donor cells to do with nymphocytes, we would have to ask my donor for a top up like Rosalind had.

Rosalind is doing well. We have been working on her web site www.allfiredup-devon.co.uk
