May 29 Day 34

Hi Everyone!
I had to go in to the doctor today because I had a rash appear on the palms of my hands. My doctor thinks it could be the Graft vs. Host disease and gave me meds for it so he's on top of it. This disease is not unusual for bone marrow transplants, it's my body rejecting Dan's stem cells and they just treat it as the symptoms appear. I go tomorrow for an all day blood draw, they will draw it every hour for 8 hours. It's a research study that I signed up for it, and someday they will have news meds that work even better because of these studies. On Friday I have a bone marrow biopsy but won't know the results for 2 to 3 days. They are looking as usual for any lukemia that might come back but are also testing to see what percent of my bone marrow is now Dan's (they are hoping for about 80%). I am feeling stronger now but still not ready to run any races! LOL
God Bless,
Ernie
