Day +101

We've passed day 100! This is the first milestone reached! Next would be 6 months!

Min Ser had his bone marrow tap today. This is to draw some fluids from his bone marrow to monitor how well he has responded to the transplant. The test will be able to determine how well Sue Min's stem cells has grafted to Min Ser. Test results should be out in 10-14 days.

His cyclosporine medication was reduced from 200mg to 175mg today due to indication of high cyclosporine levels in his blood test. Too high level is not good for the kidneys and too low level can lead to rejection. Thus the dosage has to be just right for each individual.

Day +93

One week to go to day +100! Whoopee! His weekly results have been good so far. Min Ser is quite up and about now. He has driven to work a few times now, on top of him working from home. He has managed to catch up with a few friends as well as attending church Sunday services.

Besides day +100, there is another milestone next week. Next Thurs, 31 Oct, a bone marrow tap will be done and samples taken to test how well the transplant has taken effect and will tell if his current state is truly cancer free.

Let's continue to pray for a clear diagnosis and confirmation that the new stem cells have grafted well into his bone marrow, as well as no more trace of the old defective stem cells.

Day +75

Here marks day +75! Three quarters to day +100.

Min Ser has been getting better by the day. He now takes short trips out to our parent's place and we also occasionally eat out some days (not too crowded places, and food has to be well cooked). He is officially working from home and he plans to go back to work in December.

We still go to Ampang Hospital weekly for his check up. His counts has been good!
