Day +278 : Follow Up

I am fine today.

I have a follow up with Dr Alan today. My last follow up was about a month ago 30 June.

HB : 14.7 (13.6) ( Normal Range 13.0 to 18.0)
Platelets: 126 (151) Normal Range 150 to 400)
Total WBC : 5.3 (8.9) Normal Range 4.0 to 11.0)

The platelets drop mainly due to GVHD ( a rejection). I asked Alan why I always feel breathless. For example, even working from car park to Dr Alan's clinic O( about 150m), I feel short of breath. The answer is - GVHD happen in my lung. Today, he add additional drug which to be taken at alternative day. The side effect is the drug make you drowsy. My next follow up is two weeks from now. I will do the lung test by that time.
