It's my birthday today. It's also my son's birthday and that of our dog, Rosie. Feb 4th is also like a birthday to me from now on, as it's the day my new immune system was born (day 0). It still looks like I'll get home tomorrow- which is a nice birthday present to get.
My bloods are climbing every day and it's all looking good. I have felt more nauseous over the past couple of days and I think my energy levels are down a bit (I want to sleep a lot). The docs are not surprised- they say as my bloods rise, my body is doing a lot of repairing, especially in the stomach and gut lining.
We are also seeing what is suspected to be mild graft vs host in the form of, how shall I put this, green poo. I was a bit taken aback, but on reflection it's good to see a bit of GvH as it's taken as a good sign. In my head I'm picturing the new immune system fighting the lymphoma too - little Incredible Hulks in there fighting the cancer and turning everything green. I wonder can I keep the green stuff going until St. Patrick's Day?
