I feel a little guilty with some of the setbacks reported lately but I think we need to tell of the success stories as well. I had a bmb last week and got the results this morning. I am finally 100% donor cells and there is no sign of leukemia, no flt3, no nothing. I am not out of the woods but I sure feel better about my survival than I did a few months ago. I start my immunizations next week and am nearly off the anti immune drugs, I have the chronic graft vs host but they say that is good, And I still struggle with stomach issues from the gvhd but it is not something that is too bothersome. Overall I feel good and life is pretty much back to normal. I am almost afraid to say that, this is the month that I started having problems last year and finally found out I had aml. I will be glad when this month is over, I know that sounds silly, but it is reality to me. I am pretty happy today. Thanks for the support I have received on this board, it means a lot. I owe my life to my brother, all the people who have put me in their prayers, all my caregivers at Sparrow and Karmanos, and my lord and savior Jesus Christ. thanks everyone and know that you are in my prayers.
