Doing well. I finally got my taste buds back and starting to eat a littlemore. Unfortunately Monday I was hospitalized for sever neck and mid back pain. I can't seem to catch a break.
On the bright side I became 100% my donors blood and bone marrow on September 23rd.
Thank you for checking on me. Hope your doing well.

Good morning, Mary Lou! I can sure share your joy of having those taste buds return! It seemed to take forever for me! They had disappeared months before the transplant with all the chemo treatments for my AML. Hard to forget how awful food felt in the mouth, and then no taste. Eating a piece of cheese felt like sucking on a stick of butter, everything else was like cardboard! I’m so happy you’re able to ‘savor the flavor’ again and have the mouth feels! Eating cardboard wasn’t fun! LOL

It sounds like your recovery is moving along nicely. If I counted correctly today is Day +68 and 2/3s of the way to your 100 days! Congrats with the great chimerism report!

What’s going on with your neck and back? Are you still in the hospital?
