Post #32
Last week was a busy week
Last week was busy for treatment. Bill had seven injections of Neupogen, three Campath injections and a bone marrow biopsy. Before the Neupogen shots started, Bill's WBC was down to 1.0. Today before the Campath injection his blood will be checked and we will know how the Neupogen helped. I cannot believe we are in the third month of treatment already.
The bone marrow biopsy went well on Thursday. In the next two weeks we will be getting the results of the HLA testing of the siblings and Bill's bone marrow test. We are praying for good news.
All in all, with the exception of some minor side effects from the Neupogen, Bill has been feeling well. For the next week or so I will be posting one a week, unless something interesting comes up. As we progress towards transplant the posting will become more frequent.
Thanks for your comments and concerns and well wishes, they are much appreciated. Please do keep the comments coming!!!
