Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Dane, Congratulations! It is wonderful to hear that you are doing so well. Adrienne Dane <dane714@...> wrote: Today is day 97 post transplant and I had my last meeting with my team. My counts are still excellent and I have no signs of GVHD. They also agreed to increase my Gleevec dosage to 600mgs a day. Then I got the green light to go home! I just have to hang around until Wednesday so I can have my 100 day biopsy taken. I go back in two weeks to discuss the results and any changes in meds, and hopefully have the CVC removed. I'm not out of the woods yet, but making it to the 100 day mark is definitely a milestone! .. Today, some of the nurses in the clinic came to say goodbye. These are truly compassionate people, to do what they do. http://www.fototime.com/12E535E242D55B7/orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 How nice to get out just in time for Valentine's!! You've really come a long way in the past two months. And *great attitude*! That attitude will carry you further, faster than any medical help available! Five days on IV without food or water sucks -- I know: bender, dundat. Alas, the waiting so long (I did, too) leads to more problems, not fewer, eh? But all is well that ends well, and it sounds like you are *well* on your way. And you're right: it is hard to be so far from family when you're feeling punk. Have a very good friend (*had*, she left us) who grew up in South Africa -- she said she was happier there than any place else on earth, and it was more beautiful than could be easily spoken of. Again: bon courage, the journey continues. xox, > > Well, eventually I am on my way home. I had my surgery on the 7th of February, but unfortunately the oesophagus wad so dialated that it tore.
