To recap, I was doing fine at 2 years plus post-transplant. At my recent outpatients, they didn't like my blood counts, so I was called in for a bone marrow biopsy. The full results aren't back (they don't have the genetic profile yet, if that is the right term) but there are leukaemia cells there. The plan is that I go back in for 4-6 weeks and have some 'mild' chemo and some lymphocytes. They will see how I do on that, though they have to check first if I am fit enough, so ECG on Friday. Alternative is twice weekly visits to outpatients for maintenance treatment - I really don't fancy that at all. I felt consultant was cautiously optimistic that I wouldn't have to do the whole SCT cycle again.
Lots of packing to do.
