Thank you, Jacklyn! I got a little break as my favorite NP from my oncologist called last evening to see if it would be ok to postpone my appointments for bloodwork and Dr visit today. Their schedule is packed and a new AML patient desperately needs to get in asap. No problem for me! I’m no longer a critical care patient…this was just a 5 year followup and I suspect my ‘all clear’ final meeting with my oncologist.

I had 4 chemo nurses at my home clinic while in the hospital for 8 weeks. We became good friends, more like family, and still get together socially. I mentor AML patients and potential transplant patients for their clinic. It will feel weird to no longer be ‘a patient’ there but I still feel part of the family. I’ve rescheduled but now the hard part is holding onto the large order of chocolates I bought to hand out at the front desk and infusion center as a 5 year CELLebration! 😂
Have a great vacation!
