Wednesday April 13th 2011 (8 months since diagnosis).

I have hip ache/pain! Hopefully this means there is some movement of stem cells and engraftment is just around the corner. Over the last few visits my counts have slowed their decline and I've needed less transfusions. I got platelets yesterday but my hemoglobin has risen to 7.9 which is the highest it has been for a while and that is without extra blood transfusions. Because my wbc is low I have managed to pick up viral and fugal infections but hope they will be beaten into submission by a rising wbc and drugs.
