Good news, I haven't had a fever since coming home on Friday! I am still gaining strength from being sick and in the hospital a week but getting better each day. I got my labs done yesterday and they were awesome! WBC was 2.9, Neutrophils 1.8, Platelets 102, and HGB 9.9. Just last a week and a half ago I had 0.2 WBC and 0 Neutrophils so they have really come back which stopped my fever and allowed me to go home! They are up enough to schedule my bone marrow biopsy, so I should receive a call today from the hospital to get that scheduled in the next week or so.
I did the math the other day, in 6 months I have stayed in the hospital 11 weeks not including all the outpatient biopsies and blood transfusions that take up the whole day. It is such an amazing feeling to know that I won't have to do that again, that season of my life is over.
Just to recap for everyone:
Final Steps:
1. Get final bone marrow biopsy to confirm no leukemia cells are there There wasn't any 4 months ago and I have done 4 rounds of chemo since then so there should be zero!
2. Get the results from the biopsy, that should take about 2 weeks from the biopsy date.
3. After the all clear is given, get my port removed. I am praying to get all this done by December to be done and ready for the new year.
4. Monthly checkups and lab work with doctor.
