December update

I am feeling quite well and hopeful that the two retuximab infussions may be doing their job. Meanwhile the doc's have reduced the steroids. They are slowly bringing the dose down and the amount of insulin I need is reducing in line with that. My weight is stable, but still far too heavy. The trouble I have had with my knee, due to the weight, is improving to the point that I can walk around reasonably well once more. In short things are looking good.
Coming up to the first anniversary of the transplant I am feeling strangely nervous. I have no desire to re-live the hospital experience of last year, but I am grateful for all the improvements it has brought to our lives. So, looking forward to Christmas at home and holiday at the beach as normal with the family.
