Dana Farber visit - doing very well on all fronts

More good news from my latest Dana Farber visit.

Red blood cell coujnt is 4.63 in a range from 4.2 to 5.6.

Platelets are 220 in a range of 155 to 410.

White blood cell count is high at 20.4 in a range of 3.8 to 9.2 due to the steroids but that will balance out as the dosages decrease

Speaking of dosage decreasing, I can now drop my prednisone dosage down to two tablets a day as of now.

This will help in alleviating the bloating and allow me to start losing weight for a change.

I  got a series of vaccines today and I was told I can ditch wearing a mask and gloves everywhere.

I still need to be smart about it, purell or washing hands frequently and no handshaking for instance.

Next appointment will be on the morning of September 11th.

Post treatment dental exam..

All things considered, the visit wasn't too bad.

I was expecting full x-rays but that didn't happen.

All we got was a lot of poking around for signs of GVHD and then a thorough cleaning.

Got a clean bill of health so all is good.
