Returned back to hospital for the regular Monday appointment, although the place was virtually empty as nearly all the doctors were away on a conference no doubt enjoying themselves. As these visits had become so routine it was just a case of finding out the blood levels in addition to the cyclosporine and magnesium levels, so any adjustments could be made to the my doesage.

Well the bloods came through showing an encouraging rise. WBC - 3.1, Hb(Red Blood) - 10.1, Platelets - 130 and Neutropils - 2.43. For the first time my bloods were in the range for a normal person. Apart from a very small amount of GVHD on the tips of my forefingers there was nothing else to mention. I enquired about my cyclosporine levels, but the didn't have the results, so I asked if the doctor could call me should he get the results through so I could adjust my dosage.

With that the appointment was over. There's nothing much to say except that I'm feeling better day by day, and I hope that this improvement continues.
