@katgob Hi Kat! Congrats on the great blood numbers!! Even though you’re not anticipating anything amiss, it’s still a relief to actually see the numbers holding steady! I’m hoping for the same news when I have my check-in with my local H/Oncol the end of March. He wanted to do labs twice per year, every 6 months. But it worked out such that I see him once per year, then see my BMT doctor at the 6 month mark. So I still get checked twice annually but once per doctor. My last one with the BMT doctor was the first time in 6 years that everything was perfect! Everything!! Whoo whoo. We were all shocked! 😂. So I’m really hoping it’s the same in another 2 months…
Aw, it’s rough when you lose some favorite nurses or NPs, isn’t it? You become like family with such frequent appointments. I have 2 nurses with whom I remained friends since my AML days. We try to get out to dinner a couple times a year to catch up.
You mentioned writing to your donor again. I’ve tried several times to no avail. He continues to not respond to the my attempts to initiate contact. Kind of bummed about that because I’d love for him to know what an amazing gift he gave me. Though I know he owes me nothing, I owe him everything! Have you ever heard back from your donor?

Thank you for this message. I may message my NP to keep me posted. I had not reached out to my donor yet. First tomorrow to the department that initiated my first message.
I hope your numbers are steady and good too. But as we both know, our medical teams are ready always. So are our attitudes and willingness to see life as it comes will keep us going forward. Blessed to be alive.
Also, my NP said to write. Tell him he gave you your life.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
