Good afternoon Laurie- I'm so glad that you received treatment for your covid symptoms. Covid takes a lot out of you so please take it extremely easy getting back into your life as you recover. One way to do this is by being very delicate with your lungs. Don't push too hard with activities or exercise because you could actually hurt your lungs further.
I am a lung cancer survivor and after I had finished my first proton radiation my radiologist really pushed this. No more than 3# weights, etc...I like to run headfirst into things but I really had to hold myself back.
I hope that you continue to improve and hopefully, your immune system will kick in this time and a good test will be on its way!
I am so glad to hear that the puzzle was solved for you, and that you are finally beginning to heal. What a difficult thing to experience on top of your stem cell transplant and post treatment.
This article, recently found by another of our Connect mentors, may help explain the lack of antibody testing:

The good news is that work is underway to both develop and test a true vaccine antibody test and to understand all the pieces that must work together to provide protection from Covid infection.
Please take good care of yourself as you continue to heal. I would love to hear about your further progress in the weeks and months ahead.
