"Going Gome"

Most recent update from Cathy herself

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, I have been in outpatient twice a week , and it is quite a distance from home and Nancy , my sister is in Iowa with her daughter and new grandbaby so rides are a little more challenging - but I am GREAT - no signs of GVHD , my kidney function is improving , I actually have engraftment - WBC of 7000 - they jumped up after a shot of neulasta - but the % was there and everyone is ecstatic - some meds and restriction have been lifted but I still get paranoid about germs - I had blood and platelets just once last week and they have been holding their own - I go thurs again and may need platelets then-- I'm trying to pace my self and not get too tired - thats why the Email is about the last thing I have gotten to around the house--I feel better now than I did all of last year and am getting stronger everyday, Cathy
