The latest results aren’t overly fantastic, in fact they’re pretty shit. It appears my MDS is progressing quickly. There’s every chance (and it’s my ‘gut feel’), that it has already ‘transformed’ into AML, but the only way of telling that is through another Bone Marrow Biopsy, which will be done later this week as part of the ‘work-up’ for my transplant.
My work-up includes preparation for full body radiation as well as things like getting a baseline reading for my heart and lung function, a check of my skin (and removal of anything suspicious – luckily I only had one little spot on my back which had to come out), eyes and dental health etc. you know, before every part of my body is affected by the transplant process which includes some heavy-duty chemotherapy.
There was something like 18 appointments in three full-on days!
