Good afternoon everyone.
Yesterday I had my two year post transplant consultation.
I was diagnosed with AML April 2018 had my transplant May 2019.
Latest biopsy shows no evidence of cancer and all is looking great. She said chances of relapse after two years is quite low so therefore only 3 monthly bloods and bone marrow biopsies. I had the choice of no biopsies but I opted to have them .
I am still struggling with shingles so will have to take acyclovir for another 12 months.
Almost 2 years ago that same consultant came into my room and said “Mark we are worried about you “ and then I was rushed up to critical care !
Yesterday was a much better day !
I hope this post can give others hope in their journey with blood cancer.x

Good news Mark parkrun mark and a great encouragement to you, your family and everyone looking in.
I was discharged by my consultant at just under 3 years post SCT with only a yearly full bloods and phone call with the SCT Late Effects Nurse..... the memories of the bumpy journey does get fuzzy at edges
Hi Louise
I hope all goes smoothly for you in your transplant journey x
