Rosalind had a chimerism test done last week, and got her results yesterday - they were very good being approx the same as last time. Overall her donor cells represent 99% - which is very acceptable. We expect that she will now leave the monthly transplant clinic and go to a less frequent monitoring clinic. Mind you she has had a bad cold all week. I guess we need some warm weather.
I had an extra blood test yesterday, and it showed that my immune system had come back up to a more acceptable level. My platelets have gradually gone down a bit over the last few weeks so I will mention that at Kings when I go for a bone marrow biopsy in a few weeks - they can check such details much better from this analysis.
I also saw a dermatologist, who has prescribed a more focussed steroid cream which is already working well on the rash on my elbow.
On the down side Barbara and I spent most of the day doing accounts! Roll on Easter and lambing.
