After a long gap of 21 days I had to visit hospital today for another platelets transfusion. A good friend of mine from the office was kind enough to again donate his platelets this time. Hopefully I will be able to sustain my body for even a longer duration this time.
I bumped into my doctor today as well. I met him after ages. The slowness of my blood cell growth doesn't seem to be bothering him. In fact he said that the chances of disease relapsing are lower given the slowness in the proliferation of my various kind of blood cells and given that my general health is good. He also told me that sometime in October another bone marrow biopsy would be done to find out how healthy the bone marrow is 3 months after transplant. Does it still look healthy? Is it still as sparse as it was in month of July? Let's see how I fare in the next biopsy test. :)
So good to read this! Keep a good guard on those platelets, don't let them slip by you :).

ReplyDeleteDear Kartik kaka
ReplyDeleteSorry for being "irregular" after getting the title of Mr. Regular.
But let me request your cells that they do not follow me and be regular, I am sure they will sustain the good habit of growing.
All of us will be waiting to see a good report of your next biopsy.
I can completely understand, Milind! I am glad to see you back! :)
