You might as well call me Mr. Clean because I’m bald, and I’m clear of Lymphoma.  I just had my first post-transplant PET/CT scan the other day and everything came back clean!  I wasn’t expecting anything different, but I guess they wouldn’t have done the scan unless they were 100% sure.  Well, maybe they would have for the money, but that’s another subject   For those wondering, I am feeling better from my last episode that I reported in my last post.  In that week I lost another 7 lbs, but I’m back on the eating train now.

Well, here it is, day 60 post transplant, or somewhere around day 60.  The doctors have always told me that I would have my good days and bad days, but I had been progressing so well that I didn’t think I would have any bad days.  From day 30-50 I had been progressing so well, I even rode my bike (not very far), but I ended up crashing in front of my house as I got real dizzy and blacked out.  I was pretty upset as I put the first scuff on my bike.   The past 7-10 days have been a constant decline in my health and fatigue.  I feel like I’m back at day 25.  On Thursday night I finally called the afterhours line, and on Friday I had to go in for 2 liters of IV fluids.  I’m hoping the bad days are over and that I’ll begin progressing again soon.
