Now that's a good question! In a year maybe I can ask him.

Well, I'm a day short of two months post-transplant but here we go.....

I'm doing great! I feel fabulous and look pretty good considering my hair isn't back yet.... The doctor has to keep reminding me that I'm not as well as I feel. I have to build a whole new immune system - as well as a new GI system. The chemo just takes everything out of you but it slowly comes back. The immune system will take a year to get back to normal which results in wacky diet and having to be nuts about avoiding infection but I feel good, I'm playing up a storm (having little else to do) and my inflammatory issues and fibromyalgia are gone because those were autoimmune issues and I don't have that immune system anymore!

Things are looking up!
