3rd PET Scan

Thank God Min Ser is free of the shingles. He has finished his dose of anti viral medication and thankfully it was under control at an early stage.

As of today, Min Ser has undergone a 3rd PET scan at SDMC. This PET Scan will assure us that the 2nd PET Scan results remain consistent. Ie: no more cancer cells or deposits. The results should be out by next week.

Just to note though, Min Ser had some reaction post PET Scan. He was shivering badly and had high blood pressure and slight fever. After taking some panadol and resting at the ward the effects subsided. According to the doctor and nurses at SDMC, they have seen it in post transplant patients before, a possible reaction to the dye ingested during the procedure. 

Bone marrow results

The bone marrow results are good! No traces of leukemia cells which means Min Ser has responded well to the transplant.

On the other hand, he has contacted a viral infection, commonly known as shingles (herpes zoster). But thankfully, it was discovered early and is under control with anti viral medication. Seems it does happen to post transplant patients, plus Min Ser was having flu syndromes before this happened.

Jo is also sick, down with cough and flu. Plus she can't stay with us as shingles can cause chicken pox too. So she'll be with my in laws until he recovers.

Thankfully I'm still healthy! :) Praying I'll continue to be so and hubby and daughter recovers soon.
