Hi Mark, After what we go through with AML and the bone marrow transplant, I think it’s pretty normal to feel that twinge of unease when we see our blood numbers fluctuate or trend in a wrong direction for a bit. About 3 years ago I had a similar event that went on for a few months, to the point of requiring a bmbx. There was nothing amiss with bone marrow or blood. Seemed to be an anomaly that self corrected a few months later. Left us all scratching our heads.
With your bloodwork every three months that’s a pretty good indication that your doctor isn’t too worried about any rapid progression, which is the right approach. I’ve realized from the get-go that my transplant doctor is very level headed with no knee-jerk reactions. I think these doctors see so many variations in chimeras because all of us are unique, they’ve learned to ‘wait it out’ before making any decisions.

Since you’re new to the forum you may not have seen these. But a few years ago I started a couple of discussions for bone marrow transplant members to share their story. Would love to have you jump into some conversations with the rest of us! Here are links to two sites.

There’s also a third discussion about GVHD

Do you have any chronic gvhd issues?
