Day 100 is almost here....

 IF THE BRIDGE GOES UP IT SHOULD BE FOR A BIG REASON.
The trees have lost their leaves, spent a winter bare and have now returned to their full compliment of foliage.  So much looks the same.  It just does not feel the same. 

I so remember when this happened last time, when we were headed to maintenance from intense treatment. As much as I hated the frenetic pace of active treatment, there is a lot of fear associated with not having frequent blood draws and scans and .......... 

We are a long ways from being cut loose from blood draws and constant monitering but there is still a lot of anxiety.  Her bone marrow was clear but then

 I HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

Her counts are good. 

BUT THE PLATELETS ARE DROPPING

She seems to be doing well and no really new GvH.
BUT IT CAN AND WILL POP UP ANY WHERE, ANY TIME. 

Here is the list of things to watch for:  CATARACTS, LYMPHOMA, LUNG, LIVER......

So what do we do.  We trust in the passage of time.  The advancement of medical technology.  The power of prayer and chocolate.  We take each day as it comes and try to not panic too much too often (chocolate).  We look for new ways to rebuild a life and slowly mearge back into traffic.

And lots of your healthy homemade foods...soups and salads, stir fry combinations, roasted things...yum. Has M-E learned to cook for herself? I know I was married before I learned (lack of interest before then I suppose). Anyway it is a good thing to learn early as you may know. Fingers crossed and steady as she goes.
