Hi Randy! I had a great checkup. Thank you for asking. ☺️
In fact, my leash has been lengthened again and will only need to report back to Mayo for checkups every 6 months instead of 3. So yay! My doctor is very encouraged (me too) that my AML will not return! The end of June will be my 3rd Re-birthday. ☺️

How are you doing?? You must be getting close to your final round of chemo. How are the mouth sores? I know they’re so miserable but I promise they do go away. It is possible they’ll return during the first couple of weeks after your transplant but the Mayo Transplant teams ‘got cha covered’! When your blood numbers very low…RBC/WBC and platelets, you’re susceptible to infections and mouth sores. But as soon as your numbers start to climb again after the new stem cells engraft, then things turn positive quickly. ☺️

Are you all set for your stay in Rochester? Do you have any questions about lodging or the transplant?

I’m so happy for you!!! That is excellent news. I have 2 more treatments then tentatively scheduled to return to Mayo the third week of July to begin the stem cell transplant process. The mouth sores did go away!!! But they’re just pesky things to deal with in the whole scheme of things.
My biggest side effect is just fatigue but I’ve managed that well.
We have a house and car rented for the duration of our stay in Rochester so we’re all set!
Let the journey continue. 🙏❤️🙏👍
