Day 249 past transplant. I saw the Dr yesterday. All my blood is good and stable, White cells 3.3. Low. They have been in the 4's for 5 months. He is not worried. I got two more vaccines too; I hesitated a minute before i gave the nurse the Sees chocolate I Had brought for them.
My sister asked if i felt good. I said actually a bit run down. Sort of thought i was getting a cold. My sister said maybe your white cells are off because of that? I just know i skipped wearing a mask a few times. Back in a mask I am.

Hi Kat! Every time you post the Day + for transplant I’m always caught off guard. You remain the poster ‘child’ for how a SCT should go!

Mmm chocolate…maybe if you’d have given the chocolate before the vaccinations it would have gone easier. 😂. I’m sure the treats were a hit though! I usually bring a box of treats for my team too…bribery isn’t beneath me! 😆

You might be fighting something off, like your sister said. That’s a signal to treat yourself to a day of R&R, good book, binge watch something online, nap…

Our blood numbers fluctuate all the time. But if the WBC are down then it’s wise to keep up with the mask. I’ve heard that RSV is making the rounds. So I’ve been wearing my mask all the time again in stores and elevators. Rather be safe than sorry.
Wishing you a lovely upcoming holiday season! Just think, last year around this time you were just considering the daunting process of a SCT. Now that’s behind you and the future is wide open ahead of you! ☺️
