We're still under the care of SCCA on day 140 after transplant...
Today's appointment was promising. We heard of an end ... again ... :)
Things are going well. That's all relative right?!!?!?! The doctors talked of maybe having only another week or two at the most, so long as things keep going well. But, just because we are released from their appointments doesn't mean it's over. It just means we can transfer to our regular oncologist, Dr. Julie Smith.
The IV meds will continue until Friday morning and then we get to switch to a pill form of the same medication for another 3 weeks or ??
The Hickman line remains - it's almost a life line to me, so I'm okay with that. I think Terry is okay with it too, we haven't had any problems with it. I'm sure it's a bit annoying, but it's not painful. He'll have it if he needs it until they decide he is well enough to remove it - not needing so many blood draws, medications, etc.
Terry had an MRI today, but the results were not yet in. We expect them to be good, but we will inform you if we learn otherwise.
They gave Terry another G shot today, and told him he can skip the Friday appointment this week and wait until Tuesday. We hope the G shot holds him over until then.
Back to the cleaning and organizing and playing catch up with all kinds of things.

Such good news to hear. Hope I will get to see you tomorrow when I bring mom and dad home. I will probably be staying until Saturday and doing some things to help mom....meals for the freezer and cleaning. Love to all of you, Ellen
